Silicon Valley Heat Map
By: Zillow Team, Zillow.com | June 8, 2006
Valleywag saw our last post on the most expensive areas to live in San Francisco and Seattle, and asked for a similar map for Silicon Valley. Here it is… taking current Zestimates divided by finished square footage of homes to plot the most expensive home values per square foot. Notice how home values glow red-hot not too far from the campuses of some high-profile tech companies and proximity to venture capital.
What other cities would you like to see on heatmaps? We’ll do our best to create and post some more.

I would like to see Cleveland, OH, if possible — including outlying areas, too!
This would be a great add0on feature to Zillow!

Denver/Boulder, where real estate has apprently been somewhat flat, might show more nuances in locations.
Vail, CO would be neat to show where all the residents live vs where the employees live.

I’d love to see a heat map of Chicago and Washington DC (which, until recently, has been a red-hot real estate market).

Is it expensive where you live?
If you are buying a house soon, you should check out Zillow.com. Their doing great stuff. I especially liked their recent blog post of a heat map of silicon valley. I wish they would do one of Collin County/Frisco, Texas. As one of the fastest growing …

*Really* need a “heat map” of the Phoenix metro area. Our appreciation rates AVERAGED 48% last year, but the market has taken a swift turn.
Given that it was 114 degrees today, a heat map only seems appropriate!
