For real estate posts a Google Fusion Map, with data applied, can display where featured real estate listings are located. It can map where you have sold homes recently, as well as charts and tables for historical sales volume and values. In addition these tables and maps can be set to be interactive, allowing both visitor commenting and also just more information for visitors who want it.
Other real estate pros have utilized market data and reports from sites like Zillow to create valuation maps. There can be specific values of homes for sale or sold, as well as locations of homes that are for sale within a certain price point. The tool is virtually limitless, allowing real estate professionals to maximize the information they want their sites to convey.
