I am starting market research on Zillow/Redfin Estimate Accuracy tracker. It is an interesting topic to help people understand how their zillow estimate varies over time and with similar sales nearby. I assume the product would be useful to agents and home owners. Since, zillow is getting into flipping houses, this number will be even more interesting. If you are interested, we can team up. Email in profile.

I've had ideas in the real estate area of apps. Do you plan on getting access to MLS data (I assume you are in US). That has always been the barrier to just trying out some things. It seems there is a paywall of sorts to get access to the systems that hold the actual listing data.

I'm based in Spain but I have worked with some US clients. Yes MLS access is a pain. I have some open source code for accessing MLS data in this project (which PWB uses):

https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper

In many cases though it was easier to just scrape the data I needed directly from real estate websites

My side project: Productivity Tool Location: Remote Technologies: React, Python Email: See in profile

I own a very simple web app that I would love to have help taking to the next level. Site currently gets a significant number of visitors and has been growing YoY. Would like to take it to a full SaaS model have plans to develop it into something more than a side project.

I tried elmbudget.com but the registration was broken, so I couldn't check out the website.
