In a Google Maps blog post today, Google states that they are discontinuting display of real estate lsitings as of 2/10/2011.

This is huge due to so many third party tools and sites using the real estate display feature. How many smartphone apps and tools will this decision kill?

It appears that competition with Zillow may have been a factor according to CNET News. Such a shame to see a wonderful tool dissapear.

That is sad to see, especially to those of us who don't like Zillow.

Really?! That really is sad...Zillow is well-known to realtors, but others have not or may not have heard of that site. I sure hope Google will reconsider...

Thanks for the heads up, Paul!

Damon: I agree!

Donna: you are quite welcome!

James: I hope the reconsider as well. There are several online tools that may be impacted and it will be a loss to have those tools lose functionality.
