Real estate information marketplace Zillow has launched Zillow Digs.

With Zillow Digs, home shoppers and homeowners can browse photos and see Zillow’s proprietary Digs Estimates for the estimated cost, based on where they live, of the actual bathrooms and kitchens they are viewing. Users can create, save and share Boards of ideas and decor they love, as well as browse Boards created by others, comment on photos and follow people with similar interests. They can also connect with local home improvement professionals for help.

Zillow Digs is available as a free app available for the iPad, and as a Web service.
