We opened up our databases to the software developer community in October 2006. Since then, more than 800 individuals and 600 companies have signed up to access Zillow’s API and created some amazing stuff — and the developer community continues to add new and exciting features!

Back in September I wrote about the 1st Zillow gadget for Google’s Personalized Homepage. It allows individuals to view Zindex graphs on their Google homepage. Thanks to Mike Henscheid, there are now TWO MORE Google gadgets to share.

The 1st allows a homeowner to track the Zestimate of a single property from their Google homepage. This gadget is configurable — you select which charts to display and whether the chart displays percentage change or real dollars as well as whether you want to see a chart for a 1, 5, or 10 year time period.

Enter your address and preferences via this interface:

This is how the gadget will look like on your Google page:

The 2nd gadget gives investors — or anyone wanting to track the value of multiple properties — the ability to monitor their property portfolio by tracking Zestimates for up to 10 properties (as well as the sum of those values).

Enter the addresses you want to track using this box:

The widget will show up on your Google page in this format:

Directions:

To add one of (or perhaps both) the new widgets to your Personalized Google page, just follow these simple steps:

• Login to your personalized Google account
• Click "Add Stuff"
• Click the "Add by URL" to the right of the main field
• Enter this URL to track one individual house: http://www.polygad.com/google/zillow.asp
• Enter this URL to track one multiple properties: http://www.polygad.com/google/zillowmulti.asp
• You’re done!

On behalf of everyone at Zillow, I have to extend a huge thanks to Mike Henscheid for developing both of these fantastic gadgets!!

Stumble it!
