I do believe the sites that show all listings availible will become the norm though, i have had clients using a Homequest site for over a couple of years now and all the feedback i recieve is that it they love it!. Buyers really like to do the looking at there convienience and see all info including addresses! I truly think it is great that map-based sites are becoming so prevelent.

But Point2Homes.com drives a *significant* amount of traffic to my Point2 site. And with 36 large photos, paragraphs of description, listing brochures, the ability to attach additional files and add "voice over", Point2 offers some of the "richest" listings out there. My site visitors love them. Clearly, “more listings are better”. But Point2Homes.com drives a *significant* amount of traffic to my Point2 site.

My guess is that Point2 generates 20-25 leads for each one that I receive through Canada's national MLS site www.mls.ca. It's a pretty significant part of my marketing plan. I think Jeff's math makes sense. The listings I’ve taken this year have had 7,296,702 impressions as “featured homes” on Point2 and 65,952 full views.

It seems like it has potential but right now I probably wouldn't use it very much. I was also disappointed in the amount of listings they have.

Having said that, it generates just under 1 million unique visitors per month so I'm not sure that I would agree the site will largely go unused. The reason people find it is largely because people are searching for neighborhoods and they find us in search. The reason they stay and return is because we publish rich listing data. As a real estate agent right now, where would you rather have your listings: 1. Trulia - receiving 1.5 million visits to 2 million listings 2. Point2 Homes - receiveing 950,000 visits to 150,000 listings We are generating higher views for our members and that traffic continues to increase.

You are right in saying however that a search like this is only as good as it's data. Everyone wants to be THE go to site when it comes to offering a map based search for real estate listings. The problem is that "open source" by definition means that everyone (with the right training/ability) can create a map based search...and copy and improve on the previous versions. I guess what I am trying to say is that this is only one part of the puzzle to creating a really good "destination real estate site".
