Larger page option, for those with high resolutions

I got a request the other day to make a larger map option when searching.

Done.

So now above the map it says "bigger map." Click on that if you have a super high resolution or huge monitor. The map will triple in size. Also your preference will be cookie'd to your browser so you don't need to click it each time.
Let me know if you use this.

Frank

p.s Still working on map searching.

Main level Master Bedroom Search

You all asked for it, we made it happen.

People were asking for a way to search for main level masterbedrooms. Now (assuming the agent put it in correctly) you can use the search syntax [main=master].

So this is a sample search: Arlington Detached Active [main=master]

Recent Price Drop Symbol ↓

Created after popular demand, if you see asymbol next to the price of a home in spreadsheet mode, that means the price has dropped within the last 7 days.

If you all want, I might be able to let you sort this way. Maybe next to the DOMP so you can see new listings and newly dropped in the same sort.

Thanks

Waterfront search now via keyword

Apparently. Home might have a $2m waterfront view, but the agent
leaves off the word "waterfront" 50% of the time.

So now if the agent checked the box for "waterfront=yes" then it will
show up when you do a search like: Easton Waterfront.

New Boy & Buyer Agent Data

First of all, on a non-FranklyMLS related note... My wife and I just
had a bouncing boy. Hartly Jose LLosa.

On a FranklyMLS related note, now the sold data has a column showing
the buyer agent name. This can help with a FranklyCRA.com and it can
be very useful for agents (long story to explain why).

Under Contract Date Now Published

I got a simple request yesterday. "It would be great to show the date a home went under contract." And poof, it is up there now. This can help buyers looking at Under Contract short sales so see how long they have been UC.

Not only do we now show the date (under the status) in the "full view" of each home, we will soon add it to the cell phone mode search results. So VERY quickly you will know when a place went under contract.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Search Just LAND using all caps

So you should know that we do include "land for sale" in our MLS database. But a mere search for the word "land" used to bring up homes that say "this home has a lot of nice land."

Now, a search for LAND in all caps, will bring up only "land for sale".

Why buy land? My client did:

They bought a Modular Prefab Home. Also known as Prefabricated construction from DovetailUSA.com

Now a shortcut to school info

Now FranklyMLS will link to each school that is listed by the agent. The link will send the user to greatschools.org.

We understand that sometimes the agent will not list the school names. While we would love to find the correct information and put that in, it would create too much liability. Just imagine, if we were wrong and you bought a house thinking it was in Oakton, but was really in Vienna's school district. That would not be good.

Spreadsheet mode now has Multi-home 1-Page Print & Multi-Hiding

In spreadsheet mode, use the checkboxes to the right of the listing to
select homes. Also you can pick "ALL" at the bottom.

After selecting the homes, you can

1) Hide several properties at once without reloading the page each
time. (an "unhide" button will appear to undue it all)

2) Print several properties at once. Hopefully these will be a
condensed version that fits in 1 page per listing (on the rare
occasion that I print out a listing, I always hated getting 3 or 4
pages for one home.)

Soon the multi-home print (tm)* will also print out a map with just
the homes you picked.
