Haven’t we heard this story before? (see Real Estate Search Stores - Coming Soon?)
Walmart has quietly launched a new classifieds portal on their web site Walmart.com (see Walmart Launches Classified Listings).
The service is powered by Oodle and has a dedicated real estate section.
I have to say it felt a little weird searching for houses on [...]
I’m going to disagree with Dustin (see Zillow gives us some remodeling porn), Zillow’s new Dueling Digs game isn’t that much fun.

Gotta hand it to Zillow. They’re wearing their hearts err.. listings on their sleeves.
The launch of their new Smart Search functionality tells you exactly how many listings the company has in its database, from a top level State search right down in to individual neighborhoods. It’s kind of fun surfing around the country (zoom out [...]
