New York Times introduces mobile real estate listings
The New York Times launched mobile real estate listings today, enabling readers to send and receive detailed property listings on their mobile devices. Later this fall, The Times will introduce real estate alerts for mobile users providing information and updates on properties based on users’ individual criteria.
The new mobile product has three components, according to the release:
Listings on Mobile Web site: Users can now instantly search over 350,000 property listings -- by their New York Times listing ID or by neighborhood, price or number of bedrooms -- directly from their mobile devices at http://m.nytimes.com/re. The Times Real Estate mobile site now also features complete property information, rich graphics and mobile-ready features, such as click-to-call.Web to Mobile: Users can send property listings from NYTimes.com/RealEstate to their personal mobile devices or those of their family and friends by clicking the new “Send to Mobile” icon on the online listing details page.
Print to Web and Mobile: Users can send full details and photos of properties they find listed in The Times newspaper to their mobile devices using a text (SMS) code. Users can also search NYTimes.com/RealEstate using the text (SMS) code from the newspaper.
The mobile platform also brings new advertising opportunities:
Classified advertisers who sign on for the print-to-mobile feature will receive a text code next to their listing in the newspaper, alerting users to text (SMS) the listing to their mobile device to view full details and photo. New sponsorships are available for the mobile real estate site.
