Playing With Rain City Guide’s Real Estate Search Tool January 24, 2006
Robbie Paplin of Caffeinated Software has built a great home search tool for the Seattle area and he put some very interesting posts together giving background on his effort, but I’m not sure he’s done a great job letting everyone know just how cool it is.
So, let me clarify the situation… The search [...]
Real estate search sites hit data control sore spot January 23, 2006
Inman news had an interesting article today about how some of the innovative real estate search sites are causing headaches across the country. Considering all the conversations on Rain City Guide recently about the future of “data” this seems quite relevant and is a very interesting read. However, Inman will make the article subscriber-only [...]
List of the Most innovative Search Sites November 12, 2005
There are so many interesting real estate search sites that are pop up every day, and in the process of trying to cover all of them in a blog format, I think things have gotten a little too scattered. So I took a little time this evening and put all of the sites that I’m [...]
The State of Real Estate Search November 5, 2005
Tom over at the Seattle Property News summed the current state of real estate search with this question: “Is there a regional bubble in online real estate sites?”
From a consumer’s point-of-view, it is wonderful that home buyers (and sellers!) are starting to see so many options come on the market. I’ve really enjoyed following [...]
GoogleBase Heads into Real Estate? October 26, 2005
The Search Engine Roundtable brings up the possibility that Google will slip into the real estate market as part of a much large (all-inclusive) database (or GoogleBase). This has a ton of potential and should Google get serious about listing real estate, this should be a major concern to all the people who [...]
The Rebirth of Redfin? October 20, 2005
In response to my recent slew of posts on real estate search engines, a reader (Amy Wu) left a comment asking if I’d ever tried Redfin. I’ve definitely tried Redfin and at one point I was a huge fan of their site. As a matter of fact, way back in March (before the [...]
gHomes?
The Mercury News reports that both Google and Yahoo are in talks with CoStar Group, commercial real estate’s largest firm. With Google’s reputation for building clean and fast web applications and their vast source of neighborhood data from Google Local, they definitely have the potential to build a killer application.
Along these lines, [...]
Better Late than Never October 19, 2005
John Cook’s Venture Blog pointed out today that Zillow got a new look and is now looking for beta users… Much to Zillow’s credit, they’ve created an aura of excitement despite the fact that no one knows what their product will look like, or when it will be available.
This got me thinking [...]
The future does not belong to the collective, long-term agent October 4, 2005
I’ve been having an interesting dialog (via email) with a real estate agent who I completely respect. He brings up some interesting issues that I thought were worth bringing to the general public (these ideas want to be free instead of locked up in Google’s email archive )
…I can certainly appreciate their (Trulia) desire [...]
