Land Grab: Google Expands Real Estate Listings. Matt McGee, SearchEngineLand.

While this feature is new for Australia, it is only a minor change in real estate presentation in the US. To some extent, it is a lower profile for real estate than it has been over the past few years and it is still relatively hidden in Maps. For much of 2007 and well into 2008, Google offered up the real estate Googlebase Onebox on the main search results page. In May of 2008 Google added the real estate refinement to Maps so this recent change in Australia really only adds a link on the main Maps page to the real estate search that is 2 clicks away from the main search results page. If you search on real estate + your city there is no indication that a real estate search still exists.
