Property Shark Jumping Into Online Listings Game

prop-shark-07-2008.jpg
Real estate data site Property Shark is looking to compete with sites like ResidentialNYC and StreetEasy. Starting this September, Property Shark is going to introduce residential listings, according to an article in Crain's. New York City-centric sites like StreetEasy and REBNY's ResidentialNYC both say they're growing. Despite the U.S. housing slump, meanwhile, national listings sites Trulia and Zillow have both reported "substantial infusions of venture funding." "Listings are a commodity," says PropShark's chief executive. "For us, it's an extension of the business. We are already generating revenue. Think there's room for another player in the online listings field?

i guess it's possible that all of their property data could make the listings more useful in some way.

This is great news. There's no room for a mediocre player but property shark already has the inside track. It's a brownstoner tool for crying out loud.

...I just hope it's comprehensive, including all known listings. One shark shopping.

I guess I think the more listing sites the better -IF they have their own niche. I love one called Propertymaps.com which has a google maps/mls tool that saves me a ton of time. This is what I mean with their own "niche." So I will be interested to see what property sharks has to offer.
