I agree – Great post. (Although, I’m personally partial to this one: MLS# 25102131) It would be great if Redfin would retain images/details of past sold listings so you could compare current houses for sale with ones that have sold previously without driving out there…

In answer to the question below about previously sold prices, as you move north along the east coast of Hunt’s Point the prices of the highlighted parcels are:
2003: $5.2M
10.2003: $2.4M
For sale: $4M
9.2005: $7.5M
For sale: $7.4M
For previously sold homes, we need to display sales prices on the map, at least once we get to a level of detail where the query would not slow the system down too much.

Eric’s comment about displaying pictures of previously sold homes is another thing we just have to do, though the MLS will probably require customer registration (which we at Redfin have avoided in the past). Great ideas…
