We’ve had a lot of great feedback regarding the Local Market Explorer WordPress plugin we announced a couple of weeks ago. As a reminder, the WordPress plugin allows you to quickly and easily create “city pages” inside of WordPress. Examples:

We’re happy to announce we have just finished the Local Market Explorer WordPress plugin that creates “city pages” inside the WordPress interface.

While the most important feature of any agent or brokerage Web site is a robust search interface to find homes for sale, one of the questions home buyers — particularly those relocating — are [...]

We’re happy to announce that Z57 Internet Solutions, a company that builds Web sites for brokers and agents around the country, is now using Zillow’s Mortgage Rate Widget and Mortgage Calculator Widget to power the mortgage centers of their clients’ Web sites.

If the answer to both questions is “yes”, and you are willing to help by giving us feedback, we’d love to hear from you. We’re doing some improvements on the neighborhood boundaries that we released in January of 2008.
For example, in Philadelphia (where Diane and I just attended the RE BarCamp), we have two sets [...]

We’re extremely pleased to welcome Homethinking as the latest member of the Zillow API program. Their integration is fairly slick — they’ve used the state mortgage rates available in our GetRateSummary API to build a state rates module (screen shot below) into all the state and county lending information pages within the Mortgage Research section [...]
