I was reading an article on HouseValues on the Motely Fool. I discovered they relaunched their site recently. Anyway, here’s a quick rundown of the things I noticed…
- They are now using MS Virtual Earth instead of their old flash map
- I like how they integrated “Home Buying”, “Home Selling”, “Loans” into tabs onto one site
- Home value feature is still a lead generator for agents
- More ads from non real estate advertisers (T-mobile, Dish Network)
- Site feels sluggish
It’s a little better, but not by enough to change any business issues that the company has.
Robbie, you crack me up with blog titles.
I just try to call them, like I see them….
I’m not a big fan of MS Virtual Earth. I’m still a die-hard fan of Google Mapping! I like the changes but I agree with you!
