Adding to its lineup of free mobile applications, property search and valuation site Zillow has launched an app for tablet computers powered by Google's Android platform.
In an announcement, Zillow said its Android tablet app is unique in allowing users to compare multiple homes side by side. On the comparison screen, users can view photos and sort properties by home details such as price and number of bedrooms and bathrooms.
Other features of the app include map-based search of for-sale, for-rent, and recently sold homes; Google Street View; full-screen photos; a home screen widget to browse nearby homes; and voice-based property search. Users can also save listings and share properties through email, Facebook or Twitter.
This is Zillow's eighth mobile app. Earlier this month, Zillow released an app for Amazon's Kindle Fire tablet. The site also has apps that run on Android smartphones, iPhones, iPads, BlackBerrys and Windows 7 smartphones.
Combined, users accessed Zillow on a mobile device more than 11 million times in September, viewing 2.4 million homes daily, Zillow said.

Top 20 real estate websites in June | Mount Kisco Real Estate

Last year, Realtor.com and Yahoo Real Estate battled it out for the top position in the monthly real estate website rankings maintained by Web metrics firm Experian Hitwise . So far this year, Zillow has been king of the hill, having bumped Yahoo Real Estate from the top spot in March. Jockeying for the spots below first place has also been fierce, with Trulia jumping two positions into second place on the Hitwise list in June. Trulia leapfrogged over third-place Realtor.com, bumping Yahoo Real Estate into third place in the process. AOL Real Estate, meanwhile, moved up two positions from May to June, but there were no new websites in the top 10.
