You can also use the original homevaluation tool from Homegain at http://www.HomeGain.com
There are also a large number of home buyer and seller tools in the resource center at HomeGain.

Never heard of HomeGain before, i’ll have to check them out.

I use HouseFront (http://www.housefront.com) when I’m looking up house values for my clients. Zillow can be confusing to use soemtimes.

I agree, Zillow can be slightly overwhelming. However once you get used to it it’s totally worth it.
