Search for homes from the comfort of your iPhone

Meet the latest entrant to smartphone house-hunting: Realtor.com. The official Web site of the National Association of Realtors just unveiled a free app for the iPhone.

In addition to searching for homes, the new app will allow home buyers to search for open houses within a 20-mile radius, sorted by location or date. Users can take camera-phone pictures of listings as they tour them, assign them star ratings, jot notes on the phone, and quickly post listings to their Twitter or Facebook pages -- or e-mail them to friends, family and their real estate agents.



A search for Hoboken homes for sale resulted in 510 properties, right in line with the active inventory in town. Unfortunately, I will venture to say that the open house schedule will likely not be as accurate since agents are required to manually update Realtor.com with this information.
