There has been an explosion of innovation in the real estate search industry over the past two years and beyond. HotPads has created an interactive time line that tracks both technological advancements and business events (investments, acquisitions, and IPOs).
It is a good resource to get a broad understanding of this rapidly changing industry. The companies we have tracked include Zillow, Craigslist, Oodle, Trulia, Redfin, zipRealty, Rent.com, Apartments.com, National Association of Realtors, Move, and of course HotPads.
It is impossible for us to get everything. We missed a great deal, so if you know of something that should be included that wasn't please email us at timeline@hotpads.com . Please include a description of the event, the date it happended, and a link to a relevant article or press release.
This is great! Very impressive and an easy to use tool. Keep up the good work over here, it's always top notch.
