Right now, you can play in Cincinnati, OH with Comey-Shepherd, Berkeley-Oakland with Red Oak Realty, Arizona/Illinois/North Carolina with iHouseWeb, and San Luis Obispo with SLO Homestore. We will be opening some international locations and other US locations soon. Best, Chuck Derek:

It is not necessary for every house you price to sell to "finish" the game. Some will sell in weeks, others will take a long time and some will just get pulled off the market. Your IQ, which is our measure of your pricing skills, moves over time as you price more homes and others play. The object of this game is to improve your IQ. We track all the homes you price in your profile so you can see how you compare against the community (other players) and the market. We will highlight the homes that sell in a separate section of your profile (coming soon) so you can see how you predictions fare against the market. It is a real estate prediction market game. The concept has worked in sports, movies, politics and other areas. We have focused on making it work for real estate. Take a spin and test your market knowledge and track your progress overtime. You can play Boston, Seattle or SF Bay Area at http://predict.ziprealty.com. Let me know what you think. Chuck Teller http://realius.com Derek:

Do you get the house if you are closest to the actual selling price? I'm just kidding but with how long some homes are on the market, it could take a long time to finish the game.
