Track real estate value through Zillow

A really nice feature that a few other net worth-type apps have (First Capital, Mint, etc.), is the ability to enter a Zillow URL for a real estate holding, and then it updates the asset value on some cadence (daily I think).

I'd also really like this! I think it would be pretty easy to build using the Zillow API. I personally use an average of Zillow+Redfin, but anything automated would be better than my manual calculation.
I bet it would take 20 minutes to build with AI these days ;)
Redfin and Realtor.com could be good alternatives.

Include property in net worth

For instance, listing a mortgage but not the associated property will make net worth totals very negative.

You can add the value of your mortgaged property as a manually-managed Asset. Set up > Accounts > Add Account > Create manually-managed Asset > select Real Estate. It will appear in Net Worth.

DK Thanks, that's a good idea. Mint would pull from Zillow to get estimates for homes. Maybe from Kelly Blue Book for vehicles too?

Would be awesome to have this built in. I built a little tool to do this for me in the meantime https://github.com/iloveitaly/lunchmoney-assets

Michael Bianco Thanks for building this! To me, looks complicated to install. How can I install it? Would I need Docker?
