Ginger – I see what you’re saying about the (doubtful) usefulness of this product, but here’s what I see. If a site came along and used this info as one of their tools in the arsenal, it could become more useful. I was thinking about Dwellicious as an example. Being able to take the homes you’ve been plotting and bookmarking, then running them through the Optimal Home Location algorithm would allow someone to see that maybe a home they thought might work, might not be the best choice for them in terms of location. I know that although people often have a good idea of where they want to live, they sometimes are missing a particular area, because of lack of personal knowledge (which is where we can help). Even as an agent who drives around and likes to take the “long way” (so I can discover new areas that I might not have bumped into before), I sometimes am shocked to find neighborhoods that are tucked away down a long winding road (I just had this experience the other day). By bringing this information together with other information, it might prove very useful to the user.
What do you think of its use in that way?

Ginger –
I saw this tool the other day and played with it a bit. As it is, it doesn’t seem very useful, but the concept itself is brilliant – if it could be implemented as an overlay with deep and rich data – demographics, coffee shops, crime, housing … then I think that it would be a very useful tool for Realtors, buyers, and large companies that are seeking to entice people to relocate to their areas.

Matt and Jim,
I agree completely with both of you- the concept is fabulous, it just needs to be taken further to be truly useful. In its current state, it is too basic. By delving deeper and combining it with other tools, it could be valuable to both agents and home buyers.
