Google Maps Real Estate Data Adds Pressure to Zillow

Oct 30, 2009 2 Comments by admin

Google maps added new features with things like brand new high-resolution Street View imagery or detailed map data. Google made it easier to find real estate listings. Now, you can simply select “Real Estate” from the ‘More’ button on the top right of any Google Map to discover listings. From there, it’s a simple matter to refine your search using the left hand panel -- price, bedrooms, bathrooms, and so on.

    The data is worse than bad.

    It’s apparently slapped together by Google crawling all sorts of sites and getting it anywhere they can.

    Practically useless in it’s current form.
