If you were interested in finding the price of Los Altos homes, you won’t need anything more than your Smart Phone!! Thanks to a neat app called Homesnap a photo of the home is all that’s required to get a value range for a home.
With Homesnap you will be prompted to take a photo of the home you are interested in pricing. Then using the GPS antenna a map of the immediate area is displayed. You will be prompted to identify the exact property that they want to price. The rest is sort of magic sine the app will display the following information on the home:
1) Property Address
2) Number of Bedrooms
3) Number of Bathrooms
4) Size (By Sqft)
5) Lot Size (by Acres)
6) Value Estimate (Low, High)
User then can add a Comment or Mark it as a Favorite in addition to posting the information through Email, Facebook, or Twitter. In our case the app did NOT display any new photos since we know the property has not been on the market for a long time. The app then offers the users an option to Save their favorite homes and email, post or publish the information to Twitter or Facebook.

According to Homesnaps website they have information on more than 90 million homes in their catalog. The pro of the Homesnap are obvious which is a neat opportunity to find a homes details. However, we would love to be able to have the app linked to the Public Records so we could identify the home owners and mortgage history.
