Zillow Real Estate [App Store, Free], whose initial release we covered back in late April, has been updated to include several new features including Push Notifications for iPhone OS 3.0. New features include:
Zillow Real Estate provides home details, transaction histories, and estimated home values known as "Zestimates" for more than 95% of homes in the United States. Zillow reports that more than 400,000 users have downloaded the free iPhone application in the seven weeks since its introduction.- Filtering: Users can now filter their searches by price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms and listing type (for sale, Make Me Move and recently sold homes).
- Saved Searches: Users of the app can save searches based on filters they've applied and the geography in which they are searching.
- Favorites Tab: This additional tab allows users to view their saved searches and favorite homes. Users can edit their favorite homes by tapping this tab.
- Push Notification: If there are new for sale, Make Me Move or recently-sold listings added to one of the user's saved searches, a number badge will appear on the app's icon, indicating new data – even if the app isn't currently in use. New results are shown in the favorites tab.
- Saved Favorite Homes: Users can now save individual homes to their list of Zillow favorites and easily access them later on the app.
