A fresh dose of the local market. Three times a week.
It’s true that as technology advances, there are several ways to find out the approximate value of a home almost instantly. Just recently, I tried out a new feature on a website called Zoocasa, where you can enter any home address and get an on-the-spot home evaluation. Well, that was the plan.

An Epson rep sent me an email a few weeks back asking me if I would like to have a free printer in exchange of a review. Not a bad deal, I thought, I get to test drive (and keep) one of their latest model and write about it at the same time. Which it kinda takes care of two things at once, since: My other printer is about 3 years old. - Still good, just a little *on the slow side*, due to old … [Read more...]

They have just launched a … [Read more...]

But miracles do happen, and last week I belatedly uncovered the Facebook Fanpage Mystery. Now, it's just figuring out what to do with it. I'm still pondering over that last one. Suggestions are, as always, gratefully … [Read more...]
I guess it was just a matter of time before Google decided to monetize on the home search queries. A lot of real estate related websites are now using google maps (in the form of a plugin) as part of their listings, and so far is working out just fine. I've noticed more and more properties appearing on google maps - or Google Real Estate 2.0 as they are calling it- since this last summer, and … [Read more...]
