Beginning on Thursday, June 26th, over 19,000 San Diego homes and condos will be added to Estately.com&#8217;s 105,000+ properties for sale. Given the rapid changes in San Diego&#8217;s market, we are especially excited to give consumers the ability to track price changes on individual homes and across searches and areas.<br \/>\nHere are some example searches Estately makes into a snap:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Homes in La Jolla priced between $500,000 and $1,000,000 and sorted from cheapest to most expensive\n<\/li>\n<li>Homes between $350,000 and $450,000 in Chula Vista\n<\/li>\n<li>Homes including the words &#8220;motivated&#8221; (as in &#8220;motivated seller&#8221;) in the San Diego area<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Additionally, we have revamped our &#8220;nearby information&#8221; information, plotted local schools and school scores, parks and transit stops on a map, and integrated it into the listing page.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I tried to run a search on &#8220;smug, slow-talking beachbums bragging about all the money they scam off of Arizona tourists with trained fish acts&#8221; &#8212; but that turns out to be everybody in San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>Next stop: I&#8217;m betting on Oakland, but that&#8217;s only because I peeked.
