Google Maps has already made one upgrade to its real estate search since introducing it in July, and now there&#8217;s another why-didn&#8217;t-they-do-that before? option: searching for property by adding the words &#8220;real estate&#8221; to a map search.
The enhancement also covers other likely search combinations, such as &#8220;homes for sale&#8221;, and links locations to individual &#8220;place [...]]]></description>
