The home search here at Real Estate Confluence and our other site Phoenix Market Trends has been one of the most popular features. We have heard a lot of good things from its users.
After some input there have been some changes made. The Phoenix homes search is now faster, more powerful, easier to use and offers lots of new features described below.
FASTER! MORE OPTIONS! EASIER! Just BETTER!
The search panel has been redesigned.
The new search panel no longer has the “Advance” search area, rather you select the search criteria via expandable boxes. This means you can get to what you’re searching for quickly.
Second, the text boxes and sliders are no longer separate options. Instead, your website visitors can now use either option at their will and use either option at any time. This allows the more advanced users to quickly hone in their search while allowing the users more comfortable with text boxes to enter the price using their keyboard.
Search Foreclosures (short sales, notice of default, etc) and foreclosed, REO (bank owned) properties on your website.
This is done through a proprietary algorithm that analyzes each property’s description to determine whether or not a property is a pre-foreclosure or has been foreclosed upon.
Search for properties within certain school and school district boundaries.
The school search box is an auto-complete box and will start showing the names of the schools /districts as soon as the user types the first two letters.
Search for properties based on price change percentage over time.
This is a great feature. For example, you will be able to easily look for properties with at least a 10% price drop over the past 30 days.
Add personal notes to properties (once registered):
There are lots of properties out there and this new feature let you make any notes about the properties you search.
We have made Search Valley Homes more user friendly for Safari users.
Baths have been split into full baths and half baths in search results and in the property details.
Searching for baths will search the number of full baths and the number of half baths combined. For example, if a website visitor is looking for a house with at least 4 bathrooms, a house with 3 full baths and 1 half bath will match their search.
Faster loading.
We’ve significantly reduced the loading time of Search Valley Homes by using advanced loading techniques so that the different parts of the property search are loaded as they are needed instead of when the page first loads.
In the coming few weeks we’ll look more in-depth into each of the new features and how to best utilize them so your search is easier, quicker and better.
