I'm always very happy when I find useful tools to help the real estate industry or the home hunter who is proceeding sans realtor - tell me again why realtors should steal 6-7% of your home price in commissions??

Simple key in the ZIP and you'll get back in return a snapshot of the area you searched for including such variables as: cost of living index, median rooms in home, avg household size, income, and divorce rate... interesting selection of variables really! A small icon identifies if the variable lies within the top/bottom 10% in the nation - handy. I could see realtors or house hunters taking advantage of this for a quick snapshot - there are still realtors needed right? See www.zipwho.com
