I am starting market research on Zillow/Redfin Estimate Accuracy tracker. It is an interesting topic to help people understand how their zillow estimate varies over time and with similar sales nearby. I assume the product would be useful to agents and home owners. Since, zillow is getting into flipping houses, this number will be even more interesting. If you are interested, we can team up. Email in profile.

I have a few open source projects related to real estate - I'll drop you an email.

My project: [PropertyWebBuilder](https://github.com/etewiah/property_web_builder)

Location: Remote

Tech: Ruby on Rails, JS (vue.js)

Email: ed at propertywebbuilder.com

It's basically an open source real estate website builder and I need with adding new features, languages and themes. Also open to collaboration on monetizing and marketing (will launch a whitelabel service based off it soon)

I've had ideas in the real estate area of apps. Do you plan on getting access to MLS data (I assume you are in US). That has always been the barrier to just trying out some things. It seems there is a paywall of sorts to get access to the systems that hold the actual listing data.

I'm based in Spain but I have worked with some US clients. Yes MLS access is a pain. I have some open source code for accessing MLS data in this project (which PWB uses):

https://github.com/RealEstateWebTools/property_web_scraper

In many cases though it was easier to just scrape the data I needed directly from real estate websites

If anyone has any ideas for side projects they are not working on, feel free to share them with me. I'm looking for something to work on.
