Google Maps Australia has added a new feature to their powerful web application. We can already search for a plumber or chemist; get driving directions; check out the location of any place with Street View and so on but yesterday Google added a new feature which allows visitors to search for real estate properties.

Google has worked with partners across the real estate industry to provide up-to-date listings, which you can search for directly from the Google Maps search box.

“You can check it out by entering a search like ‘real estate crows nest’ and clicking through to search real estate listings. A marker will appear on the map for every available listing, using our new search results feature, so you can get a really good idea of the distribution of the properties for sale or rent. This also means you can perform a search and see all the properties for sale close to, for example, a local school you’re interested in your kids attending. You can click on each marker and each small circle to get more detailed information about the property, including the listing agent’s website and contact details.”
