A 30 second review of the new Realtor dot com

Not bad.

Beta Realtor.com site

I like how it shows when the listings were last updated.

I like how they have finally integrated decent mapping.

Not sure why a featured listing asking $995k shows at the top of the screen when I’m searching for houses between $250k and $350k.

I think I like the grid-limiting search. I still want GIS, crime, school, etc, but this is a decent start (as well it should be - Realtor.com has continually redefined the standard of “underwhelmingly underperforming” for YEARS.

    featured listings are a paid advertisement based on zip code search, that is why a home may show up not in the price range you specified.

    Thanks, Roger - that’s kinda contradictory to the whole target-marketing of the search results, I think.

    Either way, it’s an improvement. Also, Benn at AgentGenius has a great review.
