News: Google Maps adds real estate

The Google Maps real estate search will allow Google Maps users in New Zealand to easily find the piece of real estate they’re looking for.

“We know many New Zealand home buyers are already using Google Maps to help with their house buying and renting decisions, especially driving directions and Street View,” says Andrew Foster, product manager, Google.

“By making real estate listing available right in Google Maps, we can drive qualified buyers directly to listings. It’s a simple and free way for real estate companies to make their listings more discoverable and have them seen on an easy to navigate map.

The new feature launched today.
