Twilight New Moon Home For Sale

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 02:09 PM PST

Twilight New Moon fans! Are you looking to expand your Twibrary?  For a shy $3.3 million you can own the on-screen family home of Twilight vampire Edward Cullen in Vancouver, BC.

For millions of fans with OCD (Obsessive Cullen Disorder — the term used to describe anyone who is overly obsessed with Robert Pattinson/Edward Cullen) the multi-million dollar price tag is but a nominal fee to pay to be one step closer to the vampires.

So, what home amenities do vampires like?  If the Cullen home is any indication, they have an affinity for 20-foot ceilings, Koi ponds, granite countertops, modern architecture, and lots of trees.

Interested in taking a voyeuristic tour of the Twilight pad? Well, you better come with your pre-approval letter in hand. This property is available for showings strictly by appointment only.

BTW, Forks, Washington, which is home of Twilight, is reporting a 1000% increase in tourism. Go, Forks!

Boston.com Now Using Zillow API to Power Recent Homes Sales Functionality

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 01:17 PM PST

We’re pleased to announce that Boston.com, the website of the Boston Globe, is now part of the Zillow API program and is using it to power their recent home sales functionality on their real estate landing page.

Though our recent sales data is part of the Local Market Explorer WP Plug-in, Boston.com is the first member of the Zillow API program to build a custom integration utilizing our recent sales data.

In each region, transaction data for the 20 most recently sold properties can be retrieved and displayed. For example, here are recent sales transactions in Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Quincy, Milton, Somerville, Newton, Dedham, Everett, Chelsea, Revere, Hartford, CT, Stamford, CT, and Providence, RI. Below is a screen shot for Boston:


Click for full image

In addition to enabling retrieval of sales data at the city level, Boston.com has enabled retrieval of the last sale price and date along with some basic property facts at the address level. Here is an example for 4 Merrick Ave, Brookline, MA.

If you are interested in building a recent sales application, please write up a detailed proposal for what you propose to build and submit it in the description portion of the API upgrade request form (select “Recent Sales Data” in the API request type drop down).

Don’t forget, if you are interested in adding Zestimates, city and neighborhood information, mortgage rates or calculators, or recent sales data to your Web site, come visit the Zillow API.

In the meantime, welcome Boston.com!

Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales’ McLean, VA House Listed for $1,075,000

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 11:55 AM PST

In McLean, VA, on a cul-de-sac named Capulet Court, is a home owned by former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and it’s for sale for $1,075,000, reports Big Time Listings.

According to public records, Gonzales purchased the property in 2005 for $1,050,000 — so his asking price is a mere $25,000 more than his purchase price from four years ago — which could be a first in recent months to see an asking price consistent with a rocky market. However, McLean home values are among those that are actually improving. The Zillow Home Value Index for McLean is $745,100 (as of 11/18/09) and shows a 1.8% quarter-over-quarter increase in value.

Gonzales’ home is a center-hall Colonial and is not flashy by any means. With surrounding streets named Timon, Falstaff, Horatio, Macbeth and Oberon, it’s clear the developer for these homes had a love of Shakespeare.

McLean’s close proximity to Washington D.C. makes it a highly desirable locale for government types. It’s also where Ethel Kennedy’s Hickory Hill home is located.

Gonzales is now teaching at Texas Tech University.

Cimmaron Integrates Zillow Quote API

Posted: 19 Nov 2009 10:14 AM PST

I’m happy to announce that Cimmaron Software has become Zillow’s latest Quote API integration provider.

The Zillow Quote API automates quotes submitted by lenders on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace through an application programming interface (API).  When a loan request is submitted by a borrower, lenders using the Zillow Quote API receive the full set of details the borrower provided.  Lenders can instantly create custom loan quotes based on the information the borrower has provided.  Then, the quote is automatically sent back to Zillow for the borrower to view.  With the Zillow Quote API, this process happens almost instantaneously.

By integrating the Zillow Quote API, Cimmaron Software is able to offer individual loan officers, mortgage brokers, mortgage bankers and net branches fast pricing and automated quoting on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.  This allows lenders within Zillow Mortgage Marketplace to serve a larger number of borrowers, helping them benefit from the most competitive mortgage rates available at any given time.

Welcome, Cimmaron Software!  We look forward to seeing quotes from your participating lenders on Zillow Mortgage Marketplace.

Premium Members "If NAR can get just 5 percent of the 75 million homeowners to register with HouseLogic and agree to get contacted about a particular piece of legislation or regulation, then the 1.1 million members of NAR will get 3.75 million new allies. That would represent, quite simply, the largest expansion of political power for NAR and for the real estate brokerage industry in a century." --Robert Hahn
