    Had this website sent to me today, it shows what your property is worth (estimate) along with all of your neighbors.

    http://www.zillow.com/

    Cool site, but that doesn't seem to be too acurate. For example, my moms house in eagan. Zillow is off on square footage by 4000sq ft!! That's a pretty huge range even for an estimate! haha
    Property value for the same house is also off by more than 100 grand.

    Kind of a fun site though! I like how you can use the same site for satelite views

    I've been using this for a while, in fact my condo is listed for sale on that site.
    Another one to check out is www.eppraisal.com

    Well, the sq ft is half what it should be for my house...they show it in the wrong place and the house that is shown in place of mine (with a non-existant address) is worth $440k! That happens to be exactly 2x what they show mine at (which is >10% less than I paid for it 3.5yrs ago)... Don't quite know what to think of that..yes I do, it is a waste of time!
