Includes GPS-enabled listings along with home values from eppraisal.com, Zillow, and Cyberhomes

Although I am not currently in the market for a new home, I tend to window shop the “for sale” market just for fun.  ZipRealty just made it even more fun with their iphone app, which allows you to find homes for sale, as well as recently sold homes, based on your current location.

All fun aside, this is a really useful app for prospective home buyers.  Geo-targeted searches can be filtered based on property characteristics — such as property type, price range, and number of bedrooms/bathrooms — making it easy to identify potential homes while out house hunting.  Once listings are identified, there’s no more jumping out of the car and running through the lawn to retrieve property flyers. Each listing includes home details and photos, along with aggregated home valuations from eppraisal.com, Zillow, and Cyberhomes.

The app is free and can be found by searching the easily by searching the App Store for ZipRealty.
