Redfin Improvements
After many late nights at work we released a new version of Redfin last week! I promptly went on vacation for the Forth of July which is why this post is delayed.
What did we add?
Redfin Forums, http://forums.redfin.com/. More on forums in a separate post. But let’s just say our second place name was Redfin Discussions and I’m glad we beat Zillow to the punch.
Overhead Map on the details page for a listing or a past sale shows you the lot outline if we have it or the house location if we don’t.
Search by lot size, year built and status have been the three most requested search features. Finally we have them. Let me know what you want next.
Listing update email infrastructure was completely re-written. You’ll now get the e-mail at the same time every day. We also improved the format a bit. The e-mail has a new title which tells you how many updates you have, the photos are larger and we added the city and state information.
New buttons to improve the discoverability of buying or touring a home through Redfin.
Improved readability by making the content pane’s background white and the text black. Whose idea was it to use a non-white background with a non-black font color!? :)
