New Tucson MLS Search
August 8, 2008
Some of you may have already noticed, but there’s a new search for the Tucson MLS in town. It went live on my site a couple days ago, and I just wanted to let every one know that they can click on that Search Tucson MLS button over at the top of the sidebar (or just click here) to play with it over the weekend.
If you run into any problems, don’t understand how to use it, or generally have a comment about what you like or don’t like, please email me and let me know! It’s a highly configurable search, and a new product, so please be liberal with both praise and suggestions.

nice! a few quick comments after a cursory tour:
- it would be really nice to be able to zoom in on an area and perform a search on just the area visible on the screen. i couldn’t find a way to do that. the long and tarmls (i think) map searches can do this and i find it handy. radius search is ok, but map search is much better. like for me comparing 4 blocks east is WAY different than 4 blocks west of where i am.
- the cover flow interface to listing photos is cute, but it’s a little pokey. also, the cover flow and widget scrollbars don’t capture 2-finger scrolling on my mac or linux machines (firefox 3). the cover flow part is excusable, but having to click and drag the scrollbar the old fashioned way for the listing info is annoying. flash plugin issue, i guess?
- not iphone compatible (flash). not that the other tucson MLS searchs are terribly iphone-friendly, either….
- i actually couldn’t find the big blue button for it at first. i was expecting it in the menubar by listings and market stats. i had to think to find it
Hi Tim - thanks for the feedback! Having a map search as you described is on the ‘things-to-develop’ list, as well as better mobile browser support. We’re getting several comments about the scrolling, so it’s an issue we’re trying to minimize. It’s still a very new product, and mine is the first implementation, so there are a few things we’re learning as we go!
