Realtor.com® Launches New iOS9 "Express" Home Search App

October 07 2015

SAN JOSE, California, Oct. 7, 2015 — Searching for a home just got simpler. Realtor.com®, a leading online real estate destination operated by News Corp subsidiary Move, Inc., today announced the launch of the realtor.com® Express Home Search app for iOS9. The express version of the realtor.com® Real Estate app offers six key features, including school search and 3D maps, as well as a streamlined interface.

"Empowering people by making all things home simple, efficient and enjoyable, means we have to be where our users are, giving them access to the information they want anytime, anywhere in a mobile format that best suits their needs," said Tapan Bhat, chief product officer for realtor.com®. "It's this philosophy that drove the creation of the realtor.com® Express Home Search app. Rather than adding more options we're giving them easier access to the most comprehensive database of for-sale homes in the U.S."

Developed specifically for iOS9, the Express Home Search app offers new flyover and spotlight search features. Buyers can view homes in three dimensions in key markets by selecting "3D" on the map view, tapping an area of interest and using two fingers to adjust the screen. Additionally, users who want to search property listings directly from their home screen without opening the app can type a city of interest directly in the search bar.

This app also empowers consumers to tap into realtor.com®'s most popular features, including:

  • Search – View the most robust, and accurate collection of for-sale listings in the nation;
  • Property details – View listing and school data right on the listing;
  • Open house locator – Find open houses in a specific neighborhood;
  • Favorites – Sign-in to save searches and listings.
