New features under My ShackPrices

Last modified date

We just rolled out a new set of features under My ShackPrices. Saved Shacks have a history now, Saved Searches are prettier and more functional, and you can now see more shacks on the map at a time.

Saved Shacks

When you save a shack, you can keep track of price changes, status changes (if they’ve accepted an offer or the house has sold), and if the shack is removed from market or if it sells. The complete history of each saved shack, starting the day you saved it, is under the saved shacks tab. You can sign up for daily or weekly emails of changes OR you can subscribe to an RSS feed. We’ve even set it up so that you can subscribe directly to your Google Homepage, My Yahoo or to a few other online RSS readers (I use Google Homepage for my top 15 feeds, Google Reader for the other 50 or so). It’s easy to save a shack – just click the little star next to it.

Saved Searches

You can now get instant updates on your saved searches from Google, My Yahoo, Netvibes, and others – just click the arrow next to RSS to subscribe. We’ve also cleaned up the look and feel of saved searches – take a look.

More Shacks on the Map

By popular request we’re doubling the default number of shacks on the map to 100 at a time and we added the option to increase or decrease the number. If you’re feeling brave (and you have a fast, modern computer), you can now display up to 600 shacks at a time on the map (Yowza!). You can change the number under account settings.

Also, did you notice the property count on the front page? As of this posting, there have been 358 new shacks listed for sale since midnight.
