Seems with the residential market plodding along slowly that Zillow has decided to add rental listings to its website as a new feature. I just did a quick search of the Boston area and found a whopping 5 apartments available for rent. Yes, I know that the feature is new and that more listings will be added as time goes on.

I do wonder, however, how Zillow will stack up against Craigslist or Postlets since Zillow is promoting its new rental feature as a pay service; $9.95 for a 180 days of advertisement. I can say this if you have an apartment on the market for 180 days you have some serious problems.

If the 5 apartments currently on Zillow don’t do it for you, might I suggest you check out BostonPads.com we have more than 5 apartments for rent.
