Guess when you are as profitable as they are you can do pretty much whatever you want.

They are in adverting, I think ultimately they want to capture as many Real Estate Buyer's eyes as possible so they can sell advertising spots on the Real Estate pages. IMO.

I searched for one of our listings and the more info link takes me to a Place Page for it. The Place Page has ads on it. I suspect this is another way for Google to sell ads. They know real estate is a high traffic search and listing details get eyeballs. They can traffic how many click throughs were being sent offsite just as well as we can traffic how many came to us. Now they keep that click through and serve ads up on it. It's going to reduce the click throughs to the sites that are providing the data to them. Will people pull their feeds to Google because the click throughs drop? Or did we all set ourselves up by taking advantage of the traffic from Google and have now made them a place you have to be to please your sellers and keep up with the competition?

They are providing information as a resource, and will probably try to sell leads to interested parties and increase their advertising revenue with the expanded market niche. I agree with Shawn.

I think their plan is to create a new market in real estate and then service it. They will most likely offer services to the general public for free and sell leads to real estate professional and other interested parties. Google is in the business of being a resource.

What they are doing over there though is indeed taking it to a whole new level. I wonder if real estate agents/owners will be able to "claim" their listing/property ala trulia/zillow.
