I can tell you from personal experience because my better half loves looking around for houses. One of her initial criteria in choosing a potential new home is the area, includes how the neighbors upkeep their lawns and how nice the local parks and amenities are. And she could start her search using Google street view…
What if you could put a virtual ‘for sale’ sign on your property by simply filling out a Google Sell your Home form and boom, 20 seconds later it would be available blended with Google search results for local search queries related to buying homes in that geographical area? What if this cost only a fraction of the thousands and thousands of dollars reactors charge to sell your home?
I smell a new revenue stream for Google and a very handy, affordable way to sell your house. A company like Google could even act as the escrow agent, after all who wouldn’t trust a company with 50 billion cash in the bank.
