Google Maps A Bold New World For Real Estate Search or NOT-You Decide
Searching for homes on popular real estate search engines like Trulia.com, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and Zillow among many others is one thing, but to do so directly from Google is Awesome! The catch though is that google’s real estate search is for lack of a better word: glitchy.
The allure, though, to searching on google directly is seeing homes in relation to each other and of course being able to take a sneak peak of the home and the surround area with street view, assuming the town has street views saved. The other advantage is the ability to click on a marker i.e. a house for sale and look for something specific nearby like pizzerias, other stores, parks, day cares, etc. Here’s an example:
It is important to note that Google Maps is being feed information about houses for sale from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) among other websites or systems that syndicate listing details. Also, many of the leading real estate search engines enable google maps on their websites so google really doesn’t have a competitive edge, but only time and more planning will tell.
