in which country?
- GFischer 13y agoUruguay. The main website for real estate here is El Gallito by the local newspaper El País. There's also BuscandoCasas (http://www.buscandocasa.com/ http://www.buscandocasa.com/) , which is pretty decent but doesn't have map-based search. I'm a bit worried about legal implications, linking and scraping are not well seen here.
- jlengrand 13y agoOk. I got only knowledge of the french and dutch market. The website you gave seems to be a good candidate for scrapping (simple layout, really straightforward). Web scraping is usually not well seen, but hey, if you can help them sell more / more efficiently you can make some friends pretty quickly! AFAIK, what is hugely missing in real estate websites currently is location based search. Some time ago, I had written some to play around with google maps and say "I want to live within 30 minutes of this place". If you can link that to a real estate listing that could really become awesome! Let me know if you actually start the project :).
- GFischer 13y agoYeah, I probably won't, I have a job opportunity that, if I end up getting it, will take most of my time and focus for the next 2 years :) Thank you very much for your advice !! I now feel a bit bad if I don't do this :P
- jlengrand 13y agoCongratulations! Come on. . .You´ll still have all your nights free! :D
