The real estate info site Trulia has just added support for Google Maps StreetView, according to the Google LatLong blog.
This is an excellent use of the StreetView technology. I’ve found that when looking at houses online, you want all the photos you can possibly get. This gives you a great way to see the house, as well as cruise the neighborhood a little bit to get a feel for it.
Of course, this wouldn’t help me if I was in the market for a new home, since StreetView still hasn’t made it to Atlanta yet. At least we can hope it gets here soon.
I wonder if Zillow will add StreetView imagery next?
This is only the second time I have seen StreetView used on a real estate website (the first on a national site). Trulia seems to be working hard to make a name for themselves, Zill-who?
can’t wait for the embeddable Trulia map version for websites. Our South Carolina brokerage will certainly be among the first to embed it…
