I no longer own 826 Cambridge Oval. It was sold back in late October. With the sale having taken place, I figured that this blog would have no use.
Since selling the house, some media coverage still followed, and I was recently interviewed by the Financial Times (London) on the concept of blogging about a house.
I recently found a free, online tool which will give you an idea of what your home is worth. I tested Zillow, which was started by the same people who created Expedia, the travel site. While the interface was good, and the service was fast, the results brought the house in at a much lowered valuation. Maybe this was based on Bexar County tax records. I don't know. So, while not totally accurate, Zillow represents another disruptive technology platform worth exploring.
Alan, I think you are correct on the zillow dot com. My property in Von Ormy is a bit over priced in their analysis. I figured it was worth about 2o K less than what they had it listed as.
