Location Score on Fizber

Fizber.com, the "For Sale By Owner" website, has introduced a "Location Score" to simplify comparing the "location" value of houses.

Fizber automatically pulls this information from a variety of sources, calculates School, Safety and Job Scores for each location, and combines these scores into one easy to read Location Score.

While it's a good idea, I'd want to "weight" it myself. Perhaps that's the next step, at least for geeks; others may be fine with the default.

Great idea! For me, as a buyer, it's very convenient to find everything in one place. Sometimes it's very tiring to look for all those drive score, walk score, etc. Good job, guys!

When i was going to buy a house last year (luckily i did it finally)one of the main problems was to know exactly how far the school, shops were, what the criminal situation was. Also my wife was going to start working and we were interested in jobs for her in the area. We spent too much time surfing the Net trying to find the necessary information. If it had been in one place, it would have been easier.
