SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
June 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/
-- Realtor.com®, a leading online real estate
destination operated by News Corp [NASDAQ: NWS, NWSA]; [ASX: NWS,
NWSLV] subsidiary Move, Inc., today announced the launch of
Property Tycoon, a new real estate listings game, that allows
participants to test their market knowledge by selecting homes they
think sold over asking price from a selection of homes.
"At realtor.com®, our goal is to help demystify the home-buying
journey and Property Tycoon puts a fun spin on helping people
understand how factors such as square footage and location impact
home values," said Nate Johnson,
chief marketing officer for realtor.com®. "Whether you're a real
estate veteran or just starting out, Property Tycoon is an
enjoyable way to test your real estate knowledge and learn more
about different local markets."
Players are given a game budget of $5
million to "purchase" as many properties as they think sold
for more than their asking price from a group of 60 properties in a
specific city. All featured properties are real realtor.com®
listings sold in the last 60 to 90 days. Players can check their
score using the Property Tycoon game results board and earn game
badges for things like their placement in the competition.
Property Tycoon sweepstakes prizes are awarded after the end of
the week, are based on random drawings, not based on game scores or
results, and consist of a grand prize of $1,000 and five secondary prizes of $100 each.
To help players establish a better understanding of the real
estate market, Property Tycoon also features economic insights that
players can use to learn more about the selected city and get a leg
up on the competition.
