I'm happy to finally have an answer. I'd like to add, though, that I want to see houses that are STI. Deals sometimes fall through and I want to be able to contact the seller and let them know that I'm interested if the STI deal doesn't close for whatever reason.

NB: One reason a listing doesn't show up on the map is because the listing does not include a complete address. You can also have multiple listings at one address as, for example, when a bunch of condos come up for sale in a new building. Thanks for your kind words!

The bigger map, the mouseovers and the yellow bubbles for the display are all great stuff. The "view list" features is also new to me (but that may be because I haven't played around on your site for a while). The implementation of this table is really nice and I like that you can sort on the key features. However, I'm wondering if there might be a clearer way to articulate why you are not displaying all the properties. I understand that it is because they are "STI", but it comes off as if you're hiding something when you say "39 Properties, 27 Unmapped". When far from hiding stuff, you're really just saving users time by not displaying homes that are unlikely to come back on the market. Overall, I like where you are going! Best. I really like the new map!
