REALTOR.ca Rolls Out New Neighbourhood Information For Customers
Everyone has heard the saying “real estate is local” and for buyers looking for their dream property, knowing the details on a neighbourhood is key.
That is why REALTOR.ca has updated the property listing pages to include a more user-friendly experience along with local content REALTORS® can use to identify the features and highlights of potential neighbourhoods.
Adding more local context to REALTOR.ca listings
The updated REALTOR.ca property listing pages now include a “Neighbourhood” tab. This tab is the new home for the popular demographic information, Walk Score® and Transit Score (when available).
This tab also includes a new map which indicates the defined area for that listing’s demographic data.
Lifestyle pilot
Also included in this update is a new pilot project using REALTOR.ca and neighbourhood data mining experts, HoodQ.com. As a trial run, this project has rolled out in Vancouver and Halifax.
The pilot project will include a new “Lifestyle” tab in both cities where REALTORS® and consumers with a REALTOR.ca account can access a detailed report on various features and benefits of that listing’s area. This includes information such as schools, parks, transit, proximity to amenities and more.
