Realtor.com is making it easier and faster for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch users to discover and research price reduced, foreclosed, and recently sold properties with the updated Realtor.com iOS real estate search app. The official Realtor.com iOS real estate search app is compatible with all 4.0 or higher iOS mobile devices and can be downloaded at http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/real-estate-search/id336698281?mt=8 or by visiting http://www.realtor.com/mobile.
Key features and benefits of the updated Realtor.com iOS mobile app include:
- Recently Sold listings are properties that sold within the last six months and include the final sale price reported by the MLS along with the final sale date. Sold prices display on Realtor.com within 24 hours of a final sale. Users can search for sold listings exclusively or watch as they surface automatically when zooming into a specific area while searching Nearby Open Houses.
- Foreclosed listings are identified with an easy-to-see orange badge and can be found as part of a general search or as part of a foreclosure-only search query.
- Price Reduced property listings are identified with a green arrow. Users know instantly when and by how much a home’s list price was reduced based on MLS fresh updates. Users can also conduct price-reduced only searches from within the app.
Today, 85% of all property listings on Realtor.com are updated every 15 minutes directly by an MLS. The rest are updated every one to 24 hours.
As part of the update, Realtor.com also redesigned the iOS home screen so users are one touch away from discovering nearby homes for sale and rent, recently sold homes, and nearby open houses within 20 miles of their current location. The popular Realtor.com Area Highlighter and My Real Estate features are more prominently featured on the new home page so users can easily enjoy a customized and organized on-the-go search experience.
Soon Realtor.com real estate mobile apps will make connecting with real estate professionals based on mutual connections easy and fun. Currently in beta on Realtor.com, Move’s HyperSocial™ agent search technology connects home shoppers with participating agents based on shared connections and mutual affiliations, as well as online communities and networks. Move’s social search technology will be available within the Realtor.com mobile search experience in the second quarter of 2012.
