Google Maps Launches Property Listings Tools
You may or may not already know this, but Google Maps has recently launched a new tool that now enables you to search for property listings directly on their maps.
Featuring the likes of Zoopla, PropertyLive, Ezylet, SmartNewHomes, Vebra, Property Pal, Spicer Haart, Countrywide and Zoomf, property investors and home owners alike can now search for properties for sale or for rent all in one place. And so far I really like it…
Simply enter the location you want to browse through and click on ‘Properties’ from the More menu, and the map will instantly become filled with markers/small circles indicating properties of interest.
But this is not all…
Select a property, and alongside viewing detailed imagery of the property, you will also be able to access property details as well as a link to the property website where it is being advertised.
Yet what I also really like about this tool is the search options. You can refine your search by selecting property price, property type, number of bedrooms and even bathrooms, which is really useful if you are looking for a particular type of property investment.
It is undeniable that the next few months are going to be interesting, especially in terms of how many other property websites/estate agents jump on board with this idea. I can see the outcome being really positive, but I suppose that really depends on how well it is received by property owners.
