I really like some of the search options available on Immobilien-Suche, a Swiss mapping site.
Granted, I speak no Swiss whatsoever, (Now we need a universal translator!), but this site is quite easy to figure out.
So here are some of the things I really like:
- Sliders
- Sliders for Price, Rooms, and Size
- Sliders with Statistics for Price, Rooms, and Size
Sliders, sliders, sliders! They are so easy to use! I wish more real estate search sites had them!
Ajaxian and Gregor Rothfuss have some more highlights of the search tool including:
- tighter integration between list view and map (just mousing over a list item to show it’s location)
- histograms for the search terms to give you a quick idea what the spread in prices is, for instance
- shows matches in context (public transport, shopping etc)
- leverages the superior map quality from endoxon
- allows you to take notes for each object
- shows you new matches for your search since your last visit
