Once again, local results for real estate and realtors are back in the Google search results.<\/p>\n

Google Local Real estate results have had a tortured relationship in the Google search results. Having most recently gone MIA <\/a>at the time of the Pigeon update. \u00a0I noted<\/a> in November 2012:<\/p>\n

In 2009 Google\u00a0rolled out an expanded real estate listing product<\/a>. However that product was\u00a0dropped<\/a>\u00a0in January of 2011. Before that period and until very recently, Google did not return any blended results for most real estate searches and the only local search in real estate that returned pack results was the very specific \u201crealtors + city<\/a>\u201d search. Searches like\u00a0homes for sale + city<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0houses for rent + city<\/a>\u00a0did not return 7 packs. Even the search\u00a0real estate + city<\/a>\u00a0did not return pinned results.<\/p>\n

They seemed to have returned for real estate + city, realtors + city and those same terms without geo modifies. But they not appear to have returned for “homes for sale” or “houses for sale” (as far as I can tell) searches.
