Corcoran releases Android app in Amazon Appstore | Inman News - Real Estate News for Realtors and Brokers | Inman News

New York City-based real estate brokerage The Corcoran Group has released the first real estate application in Amazon.com's new Android app store, the brokerage announced. The app includes the ability to search homes for sale or rent in New York City, the Hamptons and South Florida. Users can filter listings by price range, bedrooms, bathrooms and keywords; see property details and full-screen photos; and contact an agent directly from the app. The app was first available for download on Amazon July 18, 2011. The online retail company first launched the Amazon Appstore for Android in March. That same month, Apple filed a trademark infringement lawsuit against Amazon for use of the term "App Store." The company filed a similar lawsuit in Germany; Amazon has subsequently decided to stop accepting new application submissions in that country, according to PC Magazine. Amazon also launched an app store for Mac software downloads in May. All rights reserved.

Top 10 free real estate apps for Android | Inman News - Real Estate News for Realtors and Brokers | Inman News

Search giant Google unveiled a new Web-based mobile applications store for smart phones powered under its Android operating system Wednesday. The Android Market, which had only been available on Android smart phones until now, is now accessible through any Web browser. The portal allows users to easily search for and install apps that can be set up to automatically download to a user's Android device. "There's no wires, no syncing with computers. None of that sort of nonsense. Everything is connected," said Chris Yerga, Android's engineering director, according to TechCrunch. Yerga announced the store's launch at an event for Honeycomb, Google's latest version of the Android operating system. The following rankings come from the new store, which allows users to filter apps by popularity and price. There is no formal "real estate" category in the Android Market; these apps appear in a search of the phrase "real estate" on the site. All are free. 1. Zillow Real Estate: Search for rentals, homes for sale, Make Me Move homes (where an owner puts their dream price on their home without actually putting it on the market), and recently sold homes through typing or voice entry; see homes in Google Maps' satellite or street view, and get directions; get home-value "Zestimates" for 95 million homes; view full-screen photos; and filter searches. The app launched in May 2010. 2. Realtor.com Real Estate Search: Search for homes near current location or by address; filter searches by price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, building and lot sizes, age of home, and property type; draw a search area directly on a map with a finger; see property details and photos; view open-house information; save searches and favorite listings; and see recently viewed listings. Also, share listings with family and friends through text message, e-mail, Facebook and Twitter; Read More
