Real Estate API for Home Values, Sales Data, etc
Yahoo is providing an impressive set of APIs for developers.
The Yahoo Real estate folks show us how they use a total of 5 APIs available to the public on their Home Values page.
Launched this morning, the new page combines three APIs available right here on the Developer Network with two more from Zillow, to provide a 360-degree view of what homes are worth in the neighborhood of your choice.
Yahoo! APIs In Use:
- AJAX Maps - finds the home you’re searching for, recently sold comparables, and nearby similar homes for sale.
- Local Search - finds and displays local appraisers and customer ratings.
- Answers Question Search - finds and displays questions and answers for the query “home value.”
Zillow APIs In Use:
- GetDeepSearchResults - finds valuations, home data, sales and tax records.
- GetDeepComps - gets data on comparable homes in the area.
It’s a nice feature Yahoo has put together…but for developers out there who didn’t know these APIs were available (I know you’re out there…many of you send me emails with your questions), lets see what you can do with them!

That’s great that you’ve found those APIs - I’ve been researching the two Zillow ones for the past couple of days. As you said you’re sure there are developres ou there who didn’t know they were available, I’m sure there are developers who don’t want to hassle building the code for 5 APIs.
Do you have a sample of code that works that we can tweak?
