Zillow for iPhone

Very cool. Probably not legal. But I’ve been using it anyway.

iZillow.net

Hit it on your iPhone. It’s super slick (coded using Safire). Just in time too… (see Apple Releases SDK Kit for iPhone).

I doubt this is an in-house project. If it’s not, I hope the Z-team hires this guy and finds a way to bring it to Seattle before they shut it down.

Alternatively they could rebuild it themselves - the code’s right here.

Update - Spoke too soon it seems. The URL now seems to be kind of flakey… switching between the original site and a iGoogle page. Could it be it’s caught in the crossfire of a DNS switch after a Zillow takedown order? (The Z-team responds in comments) In any case, I captured a screen cap anyway if it goes away for good.

    Worked well for me, and it was fast too. Nice little app.

    David and I just spent a couple minutes playing around with this application on David's iPhone (I guess I'm still behind the times having a non web-enabled phone) — though this is not a Zillow sponsored application, it is impressive nonetheless! We particularly liked the “hide chart” functionality.

    There are a couple minor changes that will need to be made to comply with our terms of use and branding requirements, but it's pretty impressive what the developer (I believe his name is Auston) has done with the Zillow API.

    Actually, yep — and for my Verizon contract to run out.

    I'm glad you guys like it! I emailed Rich Barton, Kristin Acker & David Beitel about it. Feel free to email me the changes necessary.

    Oh and p.s. Blame Google for the flakey URL. I got it from them.

    It is exciting to see all the apps that are coming out for the iPhone. Come on 3G.

    Unfortunately didn’t work for me. I have been waiting for an iphone version for Zillow.
    I use HouseFront.com (iphone.housefront.com), they have had an Iphone version for a long time. Easy to use and good info.
