Google has been improving the usability of real estate information in its Google Maps function.
Users can now select the "real estate" option from the "more" button on the top right of any Google Map. They'll automatically see balloons on the maps of listings, as well as a pop-up real estate refinement panel on the left.
From there, they can refine what they are searching for by checking the boxes for renting or buying, apartment or house, as well as price range, square footage, numbers of bedrooms and bathrooms, and foreclosure listings.
Doug's Take: I played around with this new feature for a little while today. It is user friendly and simple, however the information was not the most accurate and/or up to date in comparison to the MLS data. Knowing how great Google is, i'm sure the information will begin to be more accurate and more reliable as time goes by and this new feature catches on. Kind of cool though.
clear skies,
