Redfin Turns 4.0

April 27th, 2007 | By Ian in Misc, Sites of Interest, The Emerald City | No Comments »

Congratulations to Redfin on their big 4.0 release yesterday. They have updated their look, added a new logo, made the maps expand with your screen size, and added several other new features that housing shoppers will enjoy.

Best of all, they spent plenty of time in QA to make sure there were no big bugs or undue downtime in the transition.

Now, if only their backend was in PHP instead of Java.

Search Google for real estate. As of a recent Google update, you should see Google’s newest search integration feature. (If not, try refreshing. This appears to be in a testing phase right now.)

This new feature seems to go head-to-head with the most basic of features (mapping properties for sale) offered by real estate mapping guru site zillow.com and to a lesser degree redfin.com.
