Sure the housing market is in a "bit" of a jam at the moment but property unlike any other commodity is a solid tangible possession and once the aston martin driving bankers in NYC get a grip on their greed, real estate will rise up again.
Enter the real estate app for the ipad. Normally for the non-tech savvy folks out their, the best bet is a search through the local newspapers classified listings or a subscription to the real estate journal/magazine. And where a property agent will talk in "market language" which will make you wish you had stayed in your rental apartment, the ipad app will get you a simple easy to understand peek into the listings out there.
"Mashed up" with google maps or other mapping systems the application gives you a quick reference of the market listings and focuses your search in the right direction.
Some of them worth mentioning are zillow.com, sfgate.com and Ziprealty.
It will be interesting to watch how the newspaper agencies respond to these independent apps. If they still keep their listings on the electronic paper version or consolidate resources with these application providers.
