The functionality of Google Maps, plus the wealth of information on Google’s local platform, makes them an potential monster in Real Estate. And I use Monster in the most flattering way. If agents or home-seekers can get all the information from one place, why bother going elsewhere?

In regards to video, it would be interesting to see if Google just decided to create home tours themselves for listed properties, much like they do Street scenes now.

One more reason to never leave Mother Google. They have the best email hands down, now add real estate search to the countless other things they rule.

Definitely an interesting move by Google. Not sure if anyone’s checked out one of the newer online sites, http://www.BeatYouThere.com. It uses Google Maps as its base and also blends in a social network that qualifies its uses similar to the eBay community. Would be interested in everyone’s thought.

Just for disclosure purposes, I am representing the company from a PR standpoint.

Thanks!

Sounds like Google is headed in the right direction. The must continue improving there programs if they plan on keeping up with the business…if they don’t someone else will! What will we think of next?

The other interesting thing about this is that G may subtly encourage users to their G base listings with some algo tweaks that would take away some of the aggregators from top organic results. This may happen faster than not if they perceive a threat to advertising revenue like Trulia’s new ad network.

T/Z/R are going to get squeezed from below by better broker and MLS sites, and from above by Google, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc. It will be interesting to see if they can carve out a space in the middle that is profitable for the long run.
