SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
July 19, 2018 /PRNewswire/
-- Realtor.com® today introduced its
new home search web experience which emphasizes visually engaging
design to support a faster, simpler and smoother home search
experience. Consumers using realtor.com®'s
desktop and mobile web platforms can explore the new search
experience starting today.
"Searching for a home is a very stressful process, especially in
today's market. The new realtor.com® web
experience puts more listings at our users' fingertips and makes it
easier to compare homes side-by-side," said Chung Meng Chung,
realtor.com®'s chief product
officer.
Realtor.com® 's new web experience
better equips users to access the information they want
quickly and efficiently. A few key highlights:
- No "FOMO" - New Listings & Open Houses: For serious
home shoppers, the "Fear of Missing Out" is real. Users can now see
at first look how many hours ago the listing was added to our site
as well as the date of any upcoming open houses.
- More listings per page: Users can now see more
properties per page and make visual comparisons, as total listings
per page increased from 15 listings to 48 on desktop and from 50 to
60 on mobile web.
- Updated listing page design: See the listing information
you want, when you want it. Listing page sections, such as
"Property Details" and "Property History", are collapsed upon page
opening for easier navigation without overwhelming the user.
- Listing pages load up to 10 times faster: Navigating
between search results and listings is now up to 10 times faster,
saving users time as they explore multiple listings.
- More immersive photo gallery experience: Mobile users
will now see all listing photos in a single page rather than
needing to swipe through each photo.
"Mobile is our fastest-growing platform and our new web
experience is designed to make it even simpler for people to search
for homes on the go," said Suhail
Ansari, realtor.com®'s chief
technology officer. "Consumers can now seamlessly transition from
one listing to another, browse property photos on a single page,
and easily connect to a real estate professional."
