Joel on Extate
Joel blogs about how Extate Cranks Up the Heat:
A couple of new features extate has developed recently; that US based real estate search engines should perhaps take note of…
- No more balloon popups. Means the map doesn’t readjust when you select the markers - which I love. Maps jumping all over the place when I’m trying to click on a property. The property information displays the full details in the sidebar which is also nice.
- Markers change color once you’ve viewed them - a simple yet extremely useful innovation which answers one of the most basic questions a real estate shopper might have; “What freakin’ properties have I already seen here?”
Redfin already changes the color of the house icons if you’re logged in and we’ll get rid of the balloon very soon.
