House Values launched a new site today that combined aerial photography with real-estate listings and extensive neighborhood information. The Seattle Times notes that Home Pages “has information covering 92 percent of the nation’s metro areas.”
HomePages combines aerial photography with neighborhood demographics. When you click on an icon, neighborhood data such as local school information is given such as the student-teacher ratio, average class size and even the name of the principal. Of course you can view all the homes for sale , but I really like that it displays the homes in relation to neighborhood amenities — libraries, restaurants, theaters, churches, banks, police and fire stations among them. If you are interested in seeing where the future of real estate search is heading, this site is definitely worth checking out.
By the way, don’t overlook the value in their House Invaders’ game… 🙂
