On The Hunt for a New Home? Try Searching on a Neighborhood Map
UPDATE: The home search feature discussed in this post is now integrated with re:PDX. Just click the Home Search link in the top menu.
———————————————-
Earlier, I alluded to some changes going into the new year and here’s the first—a new, upgraded real estate search feature.
Since re:PDX is getting a makeover, it will be some time before it’s integrated into this site, but you can use it now at my independent search site, findportlandhouses.com.
Different from other real estate search sites, this one is based on neighborhood boundaries and integrated with Google Maps so you can search your preferred neighborhoods. You might be interested in just Hawthorne, Ladd’s Addition, and Laurelhurst, for example, but not all of inner SE Portland or a particular zipcode.
The search requires no registration, unless you’d like to save properties to a Favorites account or request a showing.
Here’s a screen shot of the site (click on the image to go to the site):
Here’s a peek at the neighborhood-level detail. Icons show the active home listings. Hovering over the icon shows a thumbnail and price. Clicking on it gives you more detail over in the sidebar.
The properties include all* RMLS listings ranging north of Salem to Vancouver. The Gorge is represented and some beach properties, too.
Be careful. Using it could be addicting.
* “All” means all listings approved by the listing broker for display on the Internet. Some brokers opt out of this.
