New! 19,000 San Diego homes and condos for sale

We just added 19,000 San Diego homes and condos to Estately and marked our entry into our third state. Surf’s up, dude!
Every San Diego home for sale has local schools (like Westview High School near 8229 Torrey Gardens Pl), StreetView (like at 3335 Whittier Street, San Diego) and suggested properties (like 3136 Elliott St if you liked 3335 Whittier).
While one doesn’t normally think of startups as being fat and bloated, we’re doing more with less than a lot of our “startup” competitors. We’re allowing consumers to subscribe to get price and status updates for every property for sale in Western Washington, Western Oregon, and now San Diego without spam, phone calls, or anything more than an email address. And we’re doing it with a very small, very dedicated team. Not 150 employees small or 50 employees small. Less than 10 employees small.
Obviously we aren’t perfect - we know that - and are really only scratching the surface of what we want to do with San Diego. We look forward to getting feedback from our newest San Diego users and building on this foundation-release.

Where the heck did that “Nearby” tab go under Listing Details? I’ll tell you where: on the details page! All the same information is there: nearby schools, transit, parks, and places; however, you can now view where there nearby places are relative to the home you’re looking at right on the neighborhood overview map! If you’re not really in to green grass, trees, and nature, you can quickly hide parks from the neighborhood map by clicking on the parks tab and unchecking “Show Parks on the Neighborhood Map”. You can, of course, do this with the other three nearby categories. As Rachael Ray of Food Network fame would say, “How cool is that?” Unfortunately, no part of this update is “Yum-o!” (Another Rachael Ray saying. Sorry…)
But Portland, apparently, doesn’t pump pollutants in to the atmosphere, either. At least they’re more sensitive to it than other cities, as was
