"HotPads is a map-based services and realty marketplace. Launched in November 2005, the website permits customers to search for real estate using an interactive map. Listings are shown at their addresses, enabling customers to carry out a location-based search. Via the graphical interface, customers click private residential or commercial property listings depicted by color-coded building symbols.

In 2012, HotPads.com was gotten by Zillow for $16 Million.

In August 2014, HotPads released an upgraded version of the website."
