Bringing a new aerial perpective to real estate

Tue, Dec 8, 2009

Consumers, Trulia

We know that when home buyers and sellers search for real estate online, they want to see as many listing photos and maps as they can to get a realistic view of each property and the surrounding neighborhood.  With that in mind, we’re thrilled to be one of three companies providing users with a new aerial perspective by integrating Google’s new API with high-resolution overhead imagery.  Bottom line: not only is it a super high quality image but it’s also a useful tool that gives a better glimpse into what the area around a home looks like.  We’ve placed this new view below the existing Google StreetView to give a more contextual view of each listing.  Check out how it looks in this San Jose listing:

This is a brand-spanking new Google Maps product.  So new, in fact, that it’s currently only available in two cities: San Jose and San Diego.  You can learn more about Google’s new aerial perspective here. Happy house hunting!
