Did you see it yet? In 5 selected cities you can now see a street view, spin around, zoom in and out, watch your neighbor taking out the trash, look through people’s windows and even wander through the streets by clicking on the arrows. Amazon A9 had a similar feature, but the interface was lacking (only side shots) and clunky (no dragging the little dude around to see another area).

This was announced at the same time as Google’s real estate mashup yesterday. Obviously we’ll add this to ShackPrices the moment we’re allowed to use it. What great context it could bring to real estate search!
