As mentioned earlier, we’re trying extremely hard to offer amazing information for you the home buyer on all our real estate sites. The latest added feature for FresnoRealEstate.com is we’ve incorporated Walkscore.com’s WalkScore into each and every listing you see on the site. After clicking on a listing you should notice the “WalkScore” item on the details menu. (See the screenshot below)
walkscore-tab
After clicking this, you should be shown the WalkScore tile. (See screenshot below for an example of the Walkscore Tile)

So what exactly is a WalkScore? The brief explanation is that it’s basically how good a property rates in terms of having walking access to all the most common types of local resources one would need, like schools, stores, restaurants, etc. For a detailed explaination of what Walkscore is and how it works see the following link: http://www.walkscore.com/how-it-works.shtml
As you can see from the picture above, the selected house I chose has a terrible WalkScore (45/100) — which may be very important to me as a buyer.
This is just the beginning of the many features you’ll see gradually released over the next few months. As always, we hope you find these features useful as a buyer.
