Matt Goyer’s Real Estate Blog

Tonight by popular demand we added bank-listed foreclosures (with addresses! you don’t even have to sign in or pay.) and for-sale-by-owner listings to Redfin bringing our inventory up ~5%. Curious about all the inventory we have? We added a page describing it.

This new inventory is included in searches by default and uses a different color icon. Here’s a quick guide:

I’m sure folks won’t like the colors we picked but icon colors deserves it’s own post. Needless to say we spent days getting them “right.”

We also added:

• Search for open house (this weekend or ever)
• Lowered the latency and added open houses for listings from MLS PIN (Boston) and SoCal MLS
• Redfin Listing Updates now include notification of open houses and you can get updates on your favorites
• Our RSS feed includes updates like our Redfin Listing Update emails
• For the most part our URLs are much more friendly both to users and for SEO
• If you’re making an offer with us, our “Offer Wizard” is much better

Read our press release or the first coverage in the LA Times blog. Dustin calls this release genuinely interesting.

Time to get some sleep :).
