Last week we wrote about the effectiveness of Google Maps and Nestoria Australia in driving traffic to a mid-sized Australian property portal. The facts showed that both sites were equally effective and drove between 5% and 6% of traffic to the site.
At the Property Portal Watch Workshop held in San Francisco last week, the 70 attendees discussed at length the potential impact of Google Maps on property portals around the world. We discussed anecdotally the impact of Google Maps on portals around the world.

Portable Real Estate Listings — but With a Difference
March 27, 2010 by Simon Baker · Leave a Comment
The following article appeared in the NY Times about augmented reality (or layaring) and its usage in the online real estate market. The author was R. Scott Macintosh. Here is a link to the original article.
Open the mobile phone application offered by a French real estate agency and point your phone at a building along the Champs-Élysées or some other street in Paris. Within seconds, you will see the property’s value per square meter, superimposed over a live image of the building streamed through the phone’s camera.
Speed and convenience delivered with the aim of a smartphone. Could this be the new frontier of on-demand property search?
It depends whom you ask.
