The website that I picked as my fav-o-rite is zillow. I used this handy dandy website when I recently purchased a new home. I found prices of other houses in the area, found out what the current owners paid for the home, and other vital information. Compared to realtracs, which is what I've always used in the past, zillow is more helpful and more user friendly, especially for people like myself who tend to avoid spending more than 30 minutes in front of a computer screen at one sitting. The search options are better, and you can even get mortgage advice from this site.
As far as a school application, this would be a good tool to let students see what houses actually cost. In the past, I have done an assignment that teaches them how to calculate interest rates. Maybe I could send them to this sight and let them pick out their "dream home" and then let them figure out how they are going to pay for it.
About Me
- Lesley Spicer
- I was an avid backpacker in college. I hiked all over the Rockies and the southeast near my alma mater UT Knoxville. I even climbed Mount Rainier. As a mother of three and a student and teacher, I don't have time to do those kinds of things as much but I still enjoy hiking with my kids and getting outside and gardening as much as possible.
