These are not just rumors, Google has actually started a real estate search service that will help users in finding apartment, commercial buildings, house for sale or rent, land or any other kind of real property anywhere (covers almost all major cities) in the world. Just type the name of area and click on get real estate listing button and you will be presented with a number of recent real estate listings in your desired locality. This is of course a free service and it sounds like a big blow to those property portals that can suffer the loss of their traffic. Even though it will certainly affect some of them but that's not really disastrous for property portals, for the reason that Google places the website link at the end of listing, which means the website will eventually get the credit and of course the visitor. All Google has done is to provide a platform where online users can have a look at all available properties at one single place, very much like Google image search or Google's video search. The big G is after all a search engine and apparently, it has no intentions of relegating itself to a property portal. At ...
... the end of the day, Google Real Estate is just a customized search that will look into real estate listings.

This new service of Google will be powered by Google maps, showing nearby schools, parks, restaurants, hospitals, shopping malls, and the likes. The new service signifies the importance of internet as the most rapidly growing medium for property buying or selling. Online property portals are now widely used by real estate professionals and investors alike to purchase or sale properties. At many property portals, agents or sellers can upload pictures or even videos of the property, helping buyers to make a more informed and on the spot decision. An increasing number of property portals (and now Google) means fewer people will be needing real estate agents from now on, and if they do, it will be for some specialized stuff. The need to launch your personal website now is more than ever for real estate agents and other such professionals. Adapting new technologies can increase your business and getting in the good books of Google means a never ending stream of leads. More than any other stake holders it will be the print media that suffers the most, who needs to pay money to these newspapers when you can have your property listed for free with images and videos to boost the chances of making sales.
