Cinco de Mayo!
Real-estate snoops use sites to check bosses, ex-wives. The U.S. housing market may be cooling off, but the nation's obsession with real estate shows no signs of abating. Real-estate fanatics are tapping into new Web sites that tell them instantly what friends, neighbors and co-workers paid for their houses. As the sites gain traffic, home-price voyeurism is reaching new heights. In arming nosy searchers with a key financial metric, these sites are pulling back the curtain on one of the last private aspects of American life. Earlier this year, RealEstateABC.com and Zillow.com started providing free access to historical purchase prices, estimates of current values, square-footage and aerial images of houses across the country. (It's even spawned a new verb: to "Zillow" one's neighbors.) The information, available for tens of millions of homes, comes from government records and other suppliers of public data, with estimates of a home's current values coming from the sites' own calculations. To get started, inquiring minds need nothing more than a property's address. Click here to read more.
