Niche real estate portal for foreigners looking to buy a property in Spain.

I’ve built it in Ruby on Rails and hosting on Heroku.

Running free trials for realtors in case anyone’s interested :-)

But I would mostly appreciate feedback about what you are missing from existing real estate portals.



Interesting project. Do you use the resales API at all? I have a client in the Marbella area who could be interested if you do.


We do take XML feeds from Resales.


What is the best way to reach you? Or you can drop me a line: ed at homestocompare.com


Negating a selection criterion ('no swimming pool').


Thank you for the input. Would you care expanding on why you would find it useful?


Right now it isn't very useful as there is only one pertinent criterion (swimming pool) (therefore this isn't very selective) and the database isn't shock-full of properties (therefore there isn't much 'noise' in a query result).

However I bet that, with time, other boolean criteria will appear while the DB will grow, leading to more and more need for selectivity (weeding out 'noise').
