Property research tools I love

[Account Closed]

I think most people, at least in the Seattle area, are pretty familiar with tools like Zillow and Redfin that provide incredibly useful real estate data.  There are a few additional research tools that I use that may not be as well know that I thought I'd share.  Would love to hear of any other great tools out there.

www.rentometer.com - compare rent for a specific address to the surrounding area
www.rentlingo.com/where-should-i-live - heat map for desirability of specific areas

www.areavibes.com - provides info about desirability of areas.  Not as granular as rentlingo but has specific categories you can filter on

www.zilpy.com/rentalmarket - market trends across the country

www.seattle.gov/dpd/toolsresources/Map/default.htm - building permits info to see development / growth in a specific area (Seattle only)
