Wanna see a neat trick?

This is like being on a guided tour with The-Most-Infomed-Real-Estate-Agent-In-The-Universe while riding around in the chartered Hubble Telescope, turned around for my benefit. I could find specific properties, see pictures inside and out, see the prices that the property has sold for in the past. /shivers/ It got to be a little creepy after a while.

I found my house, and all the houses in my neighborhood that are for sale, and ones that have recently sold. I got a whirlwind tour of the whole area. I especially liked finding property with 180deg water views, for a "reasonalble" price. Til I found out it's on a sliding hillside and has been condemded. And the estimate for stabilizing the hillside is about two and a half times the asking price of the property. I especially liked the all caps warning to NOT ENTER THE PROPERTY - IT IS A HAZARD!!

A hazard to my wallet as well. Great fun and a technical tour-de-force. Check it out.

update--My G*d. 3823 17 AV SW is $185K, for ONE bedroom and NO baths comprising 823 sq ft, in a solidly industrial section of town. Do you have to walk to the truck stop to take a leak?
