Just a quick apology and update to all of our website visitors — in the last couple weeks the Fresno Association of Realtors has switched over the software used to power the Fresno MLS (Multiple Listing Service). The new software is called CalREDD and is part of a new Statewide MLS system that’s sure to [...]
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 [...]
Quite a few people have taken notice to our new Zillow.com Zestimate integration on both fresnorealestate.com and fresnoforeclosures.com — we can tell by the statistics that it’s extremely popular! So, it was only a matter of time before we released a super-easy way to view all the homes in the Fresno / Clovis area that [...]
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 [...]

Good article in the NY Times about Zillow beginning to appear on many local newspaper websites: http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/04/01/newspapers-begin-to-use-zillow/
It really was only a matter of time before this happened. The home browsing experience offered by sites like Zillow, Trulia, and Hotpads are typically much better than what local newspapers use. The only exception to this is the [...]
We made a couple changes to fresnoforeclosures.com. The most prominent of which is the ability to select the entire row when searching for homes. The row highlighting and ability to click anywhere on a particular listing to open that listing is just a small usability detail that needed attention. Despite our best intentions — a [...]
First off, Happy New Year everyone. To kick off the New Year’s we’ve made some small changes to the FresnoForeclosures.com homepage.
We’re keeping more up-to-date as to the current status of listings in the Fresno MLS. Last night we implemented the first half of nightly status updates to listings and more thorough inspection so that we [...]
Just came across this article in the NY Times entitled “Skaters Jump in As Foreclosures Drain the Pool“. The article highlights the positive side of foreclosures: more empty pools for skaters. Interestingly enough, Fresno makes the first page of the article.
I also found this particularly interesting:
Some skateboarders use realty tracking sites like realquest.com and realtor.com to find foreclosed houses [...]
I just thought I’d highlight a particularly nice feature of both Zillow and Trulia: finding comps or “comparable” homes that have sold in your area. What is a Comp you may ask? According to Trulia:
