Realtor.com Android real estate search app, announces Realtor.com

With the enhanced Realtor.com Android app, potential home buyers
and sellers can now:
- Make better pricing decisions with access to final sale
prices reported directly by the MLS on properties sold in the
last six months. Now home buyers can rely on their Realtor.com
Android app to display sold prices within 24 hours of a final sale,
and tailor their search to discover sold listings exclusively or
when zooming into specific areas.
- Quickly find and monitor foreclosed properties in a
specific area with the new and easy-to-see orange badges. Potential
home buyers and sellers can now also find and access foreclosures
as part of a general search or foreclosure-only search query with
the app.
- Monitor price changes on homes anywhere all the time
with the new easy-to-see green arrows on property listings. Users
know instantly when the list price is reduced and by how much based
on MLS direct updates.
"When it comes to real estate transactions, accurate, timely
knowledge is power," said Realtor.com President, Errol Samuelson. "A thorough understanding of a
local real estate market empowers buyers and sellers to make
better, more informed real estate decisions. Enhancing the
Realtor.com Android app search experience with price reductions,
foreclosed homes and recently sold properties brings a higher level
of local knowledge to buyers and sellers when it's most convenient
and important to them."
With this newest update, Android users now have access to an
enhanced Realtor.com mobile home screen experience that puts them
one touch closer to discovering nearby homes for sale and rent,
recently sold homes, and nearby open houses within 20 miles of
their current location. Additional ways to search on the
updated Realtor.com Android app include:
- Area Highlighter allows users to draw on the map to
create and customize the boundaries of their own personalized
search. Draw a straight line down a street and only listings on
that street appear.
- Area Scout shows buyers the list prices of all homes for
sale in a search area so all properties on the market in that area
can be compared. It moves with them so they can track homes in the
neighborhood if they're on the move.
"I've used many mobile apps and find the Realtor.com apps to be
the most accurate and best apps available today," said Kevin Kieffer, of Keller Williams Realty in
Danville, CA. "Since housing
markets vary significantly by neighborhood, one of the best
features of the Realtor.com app is the 'Area Highlighter'
tool. It enables me to identify neighborhood boundaries that
I want to search. I recommend this app to my clients over many
others, due to its intuitive nature."
The Realtor.com suite of mobile real estate search apps for iOS,
Android and Windows Phone 7 deliver an easy-to-use, fun and
personalized search experience so you can quickly discover and
connect with the property and agent that's right for you.
