Then there are FSBO specialty sites, which do not have MLS-listed homes in their databases. Instead, these home-search sites rely on information from home sellers who pay an advertising fee to be listed on the site. The only thing missing is the exact address of each home, so that they may be looked up on a Mapsco and driven by in person. Web home-seekers want to scan quickly, as they may scan hundreds of homes in a city at one sitting. Photos are helpful, but they need to be faster.
Listings are far too sparse.
We plowed on and found only one home listed for the state of North Carolina and one for California. Content is not competitive. If a home-search site is going to run with the big dogs, it needs to provide competitive services. Navigability is lacking. Having a bunch of homes with addresses from all over a metropolitan area is meaningless to buyers without being able to narrow their searches to homes near employers, schools, family members, etc.
