Just found an intresting article over at Simon Sandlers Blog about Google launching a new real estate search – a nice feature definitely a good idea to combine maps and real estate advertisements. The guys over at google seem to more and more try to find ways how to monetize their reach. I’m still not sure whether they should go in spaces like mail and stuff. I know they need/want to have more logged in users to do more and more personalization but as said I don’t think they should go there, at least not now. This all might water down their main proposition THE WEB SEARCH.

Google has silently released: Google Real Estate. I don’t know if that
is the official name, but that’s what I’m calling it until I hear
otherwise. When you do a search query for “real estate”, “homes for sale” , or “apartments for rent” a new option appears. …

As I couldn’t grab some shots on my own….seems that you just get the new search if you access it through the US here is one from Simon.
