BlockShopper
No matter how content you are with your current pad, with
the real estate market in such shambles, it couldn't hurt to
take a look at what's out there -- but of course, that would
require actual work, which means you'd damn sure better be
content with your current pad. Presenting your shortcut:
BlockShopper, just now storming Miami-Dade.
Started by a journalist pissed about the murky world of
public records that let Chicago politicos slip property tax,
BlockShopper collects normally dispersed and excruciatingly
tedious real estate data and deposits it conveniently at
your fingertips. You can dig up deets by city, zip, school
district, and even condo development, then dip into Block's
diligently dug-up info from county offices like treasurer
(taxes), assessor (acres, # of bedrooms, sq ft), and
recorder (deed transactions); it's all organized to let you
easily view any property's history (# of owners, how much
each paid, how value increased/decreased for each), plus
more, like taxes for any property and its neighbors -- a
voyeurism every bit as dangerous as peeking in your
neighbor's window to see he's got a much larger penis and
crown moldings. There's also other angles of analysis, like
finding sales and foreclosures by zip, graphs on historical
median sale prices in specific hoods, and a news section
compiled by independent journalists sniffing out stories on
who's selling, buying, and building, including pics, so you
can see that Yolanda the bail bondsman is selling a 4BR in
Coral Gables, and that she's cute enough to jump her bail.
As a salacious bonus, you can check who pays the highest
property taxes in Dade/Broward/Palm Beach counties, and find
some familiar names, like Mourning, Limbaugh, and Ciccone,
though the last one reveals Block's one weakness: making you
do actual work to figure out that Madonna has a last name.
