The New York Timeshas revamped its Real Estate search tool with additional features in order to give users a fuller picture of what it’s actually like to live in a particular
neighborhood.
The makeover includes a substantial infusion of editorial content from related areas covered by the NYT, such as cross-referencing listings with articles from the
newspaper’s Dining, Style, and Travel sections.
The new Real Estate tools allow users to search for up to 10 locations and filter the results according to dozens of different criteria.
The overhaul also introduced a new newsfeed, which is updated throughout the day with new home listings and related editorial content.
Video real estate listings are powered by video
integration with WellcomeMat.
