Some of you may have already noticed this, but I am really excited about the latest upgrade to my blog. It has a lot of new features. I have an MLS search on there that is map based. That means you can go on there, and for the first time, draw a circle or rectangle or irregular polygon around an area and search only within that area.

The biggest complaint I heard (justifiably) was that our public MLS search was unwieldy to say the least. You can get results but you never knew where they were talking about. This map based search has been available for us realtors inside the MLS system for a while, and the consumer side is just now possible.

So click on the link and have fun.

Some things to remember:

1. This is the entire MLS, not just my listings, so it's the same info on other realtor sites, just presented in a way that cross references the GPS location of the address.
2. If you look on there and find an area where you KNOW for a fact that a home or lot should show up as for sale, and it's not on the map, that means it has not been located properly in the MLS system ("geocoded"). Only the listing agent can do that. Much like if they input the wrong number of bedrooms, the MLS is only as good as the info that is fed into it by listing agents. You will be able to find it by other means (eg price search) but it won't be mapped to the right spot unless the agent has fine tuned the geocode.
3. It is, as always, free for the public to use, on my dime. No nosy questions, no nothing.
4. If you find something interesting, let me know. I can help you with it!

Have fun,

John C
