I wouldn’t say it’s sketchy. They want people logged in to get the analysis. It’s a horrible UX pattern. At the very least, it should be obvious that I have to login to get the analysis, not immediately shoot over to a google login. Ideally, it’d be nice if they did a basic analysis of the property link and required login to get more details.
Good idea, thanks.
Didn't know people would get this triggered by this UX pattern tbh. I had it before with a modal that prompted the user to login but figured this might just be easier / faster?
I'll readd the modal though.

#14Why does the analysis progress bar pause if you switch to another tab? Please respect your user's time. They have other things to do besides stare at the waiting screen and read marketing copy.
It shouldn't unless you're on mobile from what I've noticed. Will take a look.

Lol. I used to have a modal till yesterday that asked users to login with Google then removed it as I figured it was just extra friction; didn't realize it was this much of a red flag for websites... I'll readd it, thanks for the feedback.

#16Does this add any external information that is not present on the source Zillow page? If not, this seems like AI slop. I like the idea of Zillow comments and guessing sale price though. It should be possible to comment on any web page.
Yes, crime data is from the FBI crime database, market data, and some of the property historical data and school data are from some other vendors.
I initially had only the comments and price predictions, then added the analysis around it. I need to add more discoverability for comments to pick up though.
Re: Show HN: Paste a Zillow URL and get a property analysis
#17Zillow already has the property history, the risks, the neighborhood details, etc. no?
Yes, some of the data is already available on Zillow. The idea is to aggregate a few different data sources and then turn it into a more digestible and holistic property analysis if that makes sense.

#18It's an interesting concept but I noticed crime is mentioned in 4 separate bullet points, and three are nearly the same. * High Crime Rates * High Total Crime Rate * High Property Crime Rate Maybe this can be simplified.
Definitely- the AI-summary part still needs a lot of work. Thanks for the feedback.

Seems not. I plugged in my house just to see. It's all public info anyway... it couldn't find the construction year (public), renovation year (public permits), recent sales (public), it called my taxes high (wrong), it considered _all_ of Brooklyn for price comparables (wrong), ...
So for the comps section it looks for properties in a 1-mile radius. For the market data, that's based on your zipcode. Hope this helps.

Pre-redirect modal is back.
