Zillow’s iPhone App Helps You Know If You are Qualified to Buy

If only it had been around during the bubble. Zillow’s new app helps you calculate whether you can afford the house you are looking at.

Zillow, which is pursuing an IPO, has identified mobile as a way to boost its traffic, like its competitors, including Realtor.com’s Move and Trulia.
