Big Brother (but cool)

Here's an interesting site/tool.
Zillow.com is a website that lets you look at the housing prices on a google maps-ish interface.
You can see what the houses in your neighborhood sold for, or what they are appraised at, or what the range of prices are for similar residences. (if it hasn't been sold or appraised in a while).

It also profiles the houses like a real estate listing.
I checked out my parents house and to be honest, it's quite strange to read about my childhood home like that...4 bedrooms, 2 bath, 2100 square feet, blah, blah, blah...
But...it's also great to see what the prices are for homes, well, just about anywhere.
