Yahoo! Inc., Sunnyvale, Calif., has announced an "extensive" revamping of its Yahoo! Real Estate website to provide consumers with new tools and services to buy, sell, or rent a home.The revamped site combines a database of more than 3 million homes with interactive maps, access to millions of instant home valuations, and mortgage tools with access to local market rates, Yahoo! said. "We've found that house hunters are most interested in prices, proximity to schools and restaurants, financing options, and home values," said Andrew Braccia, vice president of search and marketplace at Yahoo! "By integrating our leading maps, local and search products into Yahoo! Real Estate, we are giving home seekers fast and easy access to the comprehensive information they need to make the right buying or renting decision." The revamped site can be found at http://realestate.yahoo.com.
