Google maps now features properties for sale!

Within the map window, simply hover over "More..." and check the "Properties" tick box.

The user can select Rent/Sale, price range, property type, number of bedrooms and bathrooms.

Google seems to be getting the properties from various other web sites as there are links to each web site under each property.

It's an interesting addition as Rightmove.co.uk seems to be THE property sale website at the moment, at least in the south east of England. Maybe Google will take some of the action or help drive the smaller competitors forward? We shall see...
