It would be interesting if you could hook up with a site like redfin or whatnot to embed that on their site so when you are looking at a house it automatically fills in all the data it knows about.
@icefox: that is exactly on our roadmap. We want to (a) be able to show users what they can afford in their selected (and neighboring) regions; and (b) to get all the right information for specific properties.
We're coding this right now, and should have it released this summer.
Redfin already has property taxes and mortgage rates, it just doesn't bother to put taxes in the calculator, for unknown reasons. Doesn't have the credit score stuff, but that's not really relevant -- if you have poor credit, buying a house anywhere near your affordability boundary is likely a huge mistake anyway.
