Inspired by the challenges of online property hunting, I’m building a tool to enhance the user experience. By integrating TradeMe listings with Google Maps, my aim is to let users scan a map and quickly grasp key details about available rentals.

Check out the progress so far.

The Problem: Popular platforms like Homes.co.nz offer map views, but it can be tedious to glean important information (price, bedrooms, listing age) without having to tediously clicking through individual listings.

My Solution:

• Color-Coded Age: Icons instantly convey how recent a listing is.
• Price at a Glance: No more clicking just to see if it’s in your budget.
• Informative Hover: Essential details like bedrooms/bathrooms on mouseover.
• Visual History: Icons change after viewing, reducing re-clicks.

The Goal: A streamlined property search where map exploration reveals the information you need. Stay tuned as I continue to refine this project!
