Find Local House Properties using Google Maps

Filed in: Google, Reviews — July 10th, 2009

I am writing this post purposely for LiewCF. Simply because he has mentioned many times that he plans, needs, and wants to buy a landed property. You didn’t know? He mentioned in year 2007, 2008 and also this year 2009!

It is not easy to get an ideal house. I experienced it when I couldn’t even find a suitable house to rent after half a day of hunting. Google Maps Real Estate makes the task easier.

Find properties the easiest way

Google maps real estate allow us to search for house properties (for sale and rent) in real world but virtually. Most properties come with details of bedrooms, bathrooms, price, exact address. Some even uploaded with real photo.

Any benefits to find property online? Other than saving your time on the road, it also help you search for nearby schools, restaurants, shopping malls.

google maps real estate search

I prefer condo to landed property, so tried searching maps. Found a condo in center of Kuala Lumpur in Google maps. But the sky-high price of $7.5 Million scared m!e Haha..impossible to buy it in my whole life.

Did a quick search for landed property in Kluang, Johor. Sorry, no property found. Perhaps more companies have to join Google real estate to make the property search more useful.

As a result, Google real estate is not so useful for us in Malaysia, yet. Suggest Google Maps Real Estate to accept property input from users. What do you think?

    $7.5 million is a lot of money. It is on RM or USD? If in USD, I wonder how much is could be in Ringgit Malaysia =)
    P.S. – Sorry, forgot to tell you great post!

    when I was studying in australia, Google Maps is one of the many ways to find houses to let. We are always one step slower than everyone… sad.

    I agree with DannyArcher, we are proven the slower country and people… I did not know that Google Map is so powerful and useful, as I usually use it for service signal coverage map only – due to my employment requirement. Perhaps we can come up some creative idea to make use of Google Map proudly for Malaysian only… Any takers?

    i think google maps works wonders. basing on the recent typhoons that hit southeast asia, with this Google feature we can see how much damage it left the affected countries. for realtors and potential lot/house buyers, they can even use Google maps to check if the loation they are eyeing is near lakes, rivers, or dams.
