MacDailyNews - Where Mac news comes first

We've been househunting lately, and we were just saying last week how someone should do this. We plug all the listings into the regular GPS and go drive around... but this would be so much more convenient.

And at the right time too, since many Realtors nowadays are unbelievably lazy. It's sure not like it used to be, where they take you around, call you about new listings that they think you'd like before anyone else knows about them... pfft. Right. It's been almost all on our own anyway. I've worked with several Realtors like this for our last few properties. The internets have made some agents really really lazy. Sad.

Anyway, nice news, will have to check this out!

How is this different than Puluwai?

It's probably not going to be much different than Puluwai, just like the 50 or so application for a tip calculator aren't very different from each other. The applications are not only going to grow in number, but they will grow in competition also.

Let's face it. We Mac users are not used to having to wade through a whole pile of apps just to find decent ones to use. As the iPhone and the Mac become more common and commonplace, we'll be faced with this glut of crapplications just like the Windows side. We will become much more dependant on reviews to help us weed out the useless stuff (e.g. WeatherBug).

This is truly an outstanding application. They don't even make you waste a crap load of time registering. You simply download the app, let it check your location (or give it one) and bamm! Houses show up.

@Anonymous. The user interface and information presentation is superior to Puluwai. In addition, there is no annoying DirecTV advertising.

I'm waiting for Mousing Hunting.

Also @Anonymous, the results are far more accurate. The location based search in Trulia is spot on, providing results within .5 miles and up as you specify, whereas the search in Puluwai is all over the place, only allowing me to use keywords to try and control it.

Realtor.com is the NAR's official website.
It contains all U.S. listings.

Period.
