Better Zillow Extension

It helps optimize Zillow for the larger screens found on desktop and laptop computers.

The larger interface helps in the following ways:

- 1. Location. Location. Location. You can focus more on real estate locations instead of real estate listings.
- 2. Stop letting your screen go to waste. Utilize more of your computer screen.
- 3. Spy on your neighborhood. Now you can quickly and easily find out what property values are in your current or potential area.
- 4. Track property sales. Quickly visually what parts of your neighborhood, city or state are experiencing recent sales.


TIPS
1. Log into your Zillow Account prior to using the extension if you plan to save properties.
2. Use the search tool to view recently sold properties in your area by selecting the \"Sold\" filter from the top search bar.
3. Enter in your state or city and select \"For Sale\" to get an idea of which areas have the most real estate for sale.

Andrew (ID: 000000f53f145c28) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/24/2021 I emailed Zillow about this incredibly frustrating issue a couple years ago and received no response. This extension is incredible. Thank you for doing what Zillow should have done a long time ago!!!

icon

Paul Marks (ID: 000000a5eeb4a594) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/09/2021 Looking at the source code, this extension just adds a CSS style sheet to zillow.com, so at least version 0.0.0.1 isn't doing anything sketchy. The full-screen map is very useful.

Jason Channell (ID: 000000db8b6911d8) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 07/02/2021 Great plugin for using maps on Zillow as primary.

Nick DiFonzo (ID: 00000090637677fa) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 08/13/2020 A truly epic amount of tension instantly fled from my shoulders after adding this extension. How a website screws up their product so badly that it creates pain for their users I have no idea, but this extension cures the issue. Bravo dev and thank you.
