(PRWEB) April 5, 2006 -- Invisible Dot formally announce beta release of its visual real estate search engine - HousingRobots.com.
HousingRobots.com combines traditional house listings with Google Map technology to bring house hunting experience to a higher level. It aggregates real estate listings from multiple data sources to provide users with a complete view of market place with a single search. It also provides a set of convenient tools to help users track new listings, explore surrounding environment, discover real estate trend, and bookmark and share interested properties. Current beta release covers several major US areas including San Francisco Vicinity, Silicon Valley North/South/East Bay Area, Sacramento, Los Angeles, Chicago,
Miami, Austin, and Denver.
Some of the cool features include:
• Search through visual navigation. In additional to the traditional house search and criteria filtering capability, a user can visually move around the map and the matching engine will automatically match all his/her interested properties within the map’s viewing area. With the free Google Earth download, user can even have a 3D bird’s eye view of the surrounding environment of interested properties.
• Real time tracking. By watching the housing market constantly from multiple real estate sources, HouseRobots provides most up-to-date information about all properties currently listed or sold in a neighborhood. In addition, HousingRobots highlights new houses that have just entered the market, and properties with recent price changes to allow bargain hunters find ideal property quickly. Registered users can also access the listing price history of a property.
• Collaborative filtering. Based on the house search and access statistics, HousingRobots indicates “hot” houses that have been frequently accessed by its user base. This gives
home buyers a sense of what houses are popular in their search results.
• Landmark-based search. HousingRobots enables buyers to start their search from interested landmarks. In its first offering, HousingRobots provides “school-based search”, where user can locate the Top US high schools first and then find houses around its neighborhood.
• Discover surrounding environment. For every house, users can discover similar properties on sale or recently sold in its vicinity, as well as neighborhood profile. In addition, user can locate surrounding facilities such as
local school, church, bank, and restaurant to help them make better buying decisions quickly.
• One stop discovery. With multiple listing sources and constant property refreshing, HousingRobots provides one stop listings for all the latest houses coming into the market.
• Bargain notification. HousingRobots provides e-mail notification to subscribers on the houses that just come into the market or have had a price change since last notification to allow buyers detect bargain quickly
• Instant recall. Users can save interested houses and come back to see the list at their convenience in the future. They can also share that list with their family and friends and ask them to help make a smart buy decision quickly
