If you visit fresnoforeclosures.com, you’ll notice a brand new look! We’ve made a ton of changes and built a brand new look that we can use to implement a bunch of new features which we just couldn’t fit in the old design.
Some New Features / Improvements Include:
- Integrated dynamic google map that’s including on the index search page. Note: when moving from house to house on the listings, the map actually re-aligns with the selected property to give you an idea of the area it’s in.
- Search box is moved to the top for convenience. When selecting search criteria, the form remembers what you selected and highlights the fields.
- The Search Listings pagination actually works. We fixed quite a bit of bugs regarding the paginating of search results… I think I’ve finally nailed this down, but we’ll see.
- On the listing page, more details from the MLS are added to the screen.
- On the listing page, if you came from a previous search, your search results are remembered and a “Click here to go back to your search results.” link is displayed so you can continue browsing the search where you last left off.
- On the listing page, a new price box is available that shows the listing price + monthly payment based on last week’s average interest rates.
- On the listing page, when clicking “Click for Financing” in the price box — this launches in-browser window (pop-up blockers don’t block these) dynamically generating a Mortgage Calculator sponsered by Mid Valley Financial. The calculator auto-fills the Sale Price and is editable to allow changes to Percentage Down, Interest Rate, Length of Mortgage, etc.
- On the listing page, the center of the page is dedicated to additional details of the home. These include:
- A Google Map with Marker and Address
- A Google StreetView of the property.
- In browser Photo carousel. (There were complaints of the current pop-up method of showing photos.)
- Zillow Zestimate integration which also includes Last Date / Amont Sold and Tax Assessment information from zillow.com
We’re still working out some of the bugs with the new design, but I hope you find it helpful in your home search! As always, feel freeto let me know what you think — good or bad.
