HotPads is a rentals and real estate marketplace launched in 2005 that enables users to search for housing using an interactive map. Listings are displayed at their addresses, allowing users to conduct a location-based search. Through the graphical interface, users click on individual property listings depicted by color-coded building icons.
In 2012, HotPads.com was acquired by Zillow for $16 Million.[1]
In August 2014, HotPads launched an updated version of the site.[2]
