Craigslist and Google Alter Real Estate Purchasing

 Email Article To a Friend View Printable Version 
Craigslist.com and Google.com have changed the way consumers buy real estate. There are some that believe this could alter the realtors’ functions on home selling and buying. Google is testing their new tool to sort though home listings. Craigslist home listings rose to 335,126 in March, which is triple the previous years numbers. Other services such as Trulia.com and Oodle.com and Propsmart.com also offer free access to listings. The sites on Craigslist and Google have the potential to change the way customers search for real estate. This, in turn, is going to affect advertising dollars in other media, such as newspapers and television.

Some have come straight from work and are still wearing their tool belts and coveralls to the Dade Real Estate Investors Association meeting. Others are dressed in suits or casual gear, but they all have a common interest: picking up useful information and sharing their experiences about investing in hands-on real estate -- handyman specials, "as is" properties, foreclosures and homes "for sale by owner" that can be fixed up and flipped for a profit.
