Chomp! Chomp! Gobble! Gobble! Ummm . . tasty. MORE! MORE! The great irony is that the source of funding for all this creativity and expansion is the industries themselves. It's the great PPC click, click, clicking sound of their inevitable demise, funding the research and development, and providing the data to identify who should go first. Silly humans.

Actually my wife found a house in our area here in Oz which would be of interest to her sister. Couldn't find it on the agents web site but I was able through Google to send my sister-in-law a photograph of it and a street map. Clever!

The biggest barrier to private selling is that the seller always has an over inflated idea of the property value, hence the reason agents won't list it! Agents commission is no barrier and I'd much prefer to pay a negotiated commission myself so the agent repesents me, not the seller.

Real estate agents would not be wise to put the information and exact location on the map unless they have a sole agency agreement with the seller. And if owners put the property on the map, will they take it off map once it is sold? How is this going to be controlled? Or will the map soon become full of already sold properties? And IanCP is absolutely right about over-inflated ideas of property. There will surely be a number of sellers who are not selling actively, but would consider selling if someone pays way over inflated price. I might be wrong but this is why I am doubtful this will work and give real value to the end user, i.e. the buyer. The time will tell though!

Traditionally Google will partner with big operators in an industry and form win-win partnerships. Getting the data mentioned above is not too hard if you know the right people.
