Filed under the “standing still is not an option.” Our site, while award-winning, is a constant evolution, based on internal and external feedback. We listen to our agents and our clients and try to improve. Our goal is to continue to have the most functional, most useful and most used real estate search site in Charlottesville; these improvements are a step towards meeting that goal.
We’ve made a few improvements to the Nest Realty site, what we believe is the best way to search for homes in the Charlottesville area.
Notably –
1 – Faster. The site’s architecture has been optimized and refined.
2 – Days on Market are displayed.
3 – Price drop history with % drop and drop dates for all listings (you can also search for homes with price drops in the last 30 days). Did you know that in the past 37 days, just in Charlottesville and Albemarle, 304 – 20%! – of the 1516 homes for sale have had price adjustments?
4 – More photos. Photos matter, and the number of pictures displayed has been increased substantially. We can’t help if the photos aren’t great, though.
5 – New listings. Everyone wants to know what’s new to the Charlottesville market. New listings are now tagged (within last 14 days, can search for new listings)
As a buyer/browser/interested consumer, what do you want to see on our site? How would you like to search?
