re:PDX Home Search Page Now Available

It thrills me to no end to announce the availability of my long-awaited (awaited by me, anyway) real estate search page here at re:PDX. The software developers and designers in my company have been dealing with my persnickity preferences in incorporating a map-based search into the site, but here it is.

Serious shoppers and real estate junkies (you know who you are) alike will like it. Features:

  • It’s Google map-based.
  • It’s neighborhood-defined.
  • It contains all homes for sale in the Portland MLS that are approved for internet display.
  • It’s free to use and no registration is required to use the map.
  • If you would like to save homes to a Favorites list for future viewing, you can do so by setting up an account.
  • You can even request a showing of any listing with just a click.

To see it in action, just click the Home Search in the top menu.

    Hey Ron,
    Great to see you got the search up, but the maps are not showing up correctly on my screen. I’m using an Asus eee pc and it seems that map is getting squished (for lack of a better term). Many of the neighborhoods and cities are overlapping. Just a thought, it seems like the page is at a set width, and the map is trying to fit in that. You don’t have to post this comment, I just wanted to give you a heads up.

    Ben

    Works great for me. I like it much better than zillow, trulia and others I’ve used. One question though. Most of the house icons on the map are blue, but a few are green. What is the signficance of color?

    Hi Ben,

    Thanks for the comment. I think the map interface will probably be a challenge for netbook resolution screens. I will pass the feedback along to our development team.

    jcarlton,

    Glad you like it. Blue icons denote active listings. The green icons show new listings, price changes, and back on market listings.

    Soon, you’ll see orange icons, which will signify the listings I’ve actually toured or shown to clients.
