1. What's your preferred method for finding a new house, condo, or apartment? MLS, Kijiji/Craigslist, Grapevine, other?
2. What are your top three and bottom three considerations when looking for a purchase or rental? (cost, neighbourhood, schools, proximity to transit, restaurants, etc)
There are other cities it handles (choose the drop down) but it defaults to sfbay (for me) and remembers your subdomain. Anyway, its a cool google map, craiglist, route, list planner mashup a friend made.
I usually use Craigslist or recommendations from people I know who live where I'm moving to.
My number one requirement is FiOS or service with a similar upload and download rates. Rent and the kind of neighborhood are the other two important factors for me.
