Yahoo! Real Estate Revamps Site with Yahoo! Maps and Yahoo! Local APIs
The Yahoo! Real Estate team has been busy completely revamping the site using the AJAX API to plot home listings on the homepage, search results and property pages. Users can now browse homes for sale and rentals via a map interface. We feel this integration with Yahoo! Local and Yahoo! Maps significantly adds to the overall user experience… After all, real estate IS local.
We also added the Local API on homes for sale and rentals pages to allow users to easily find nearby schools, grocery stores, parks, restaurants, and gas stations. Combining the Local API with the Maps API allows users to read ratings and reviews directly from the property’s map.
Another feature we’re excited about is the ability to plot comparable sales (a.k.a. “comps”) from the property map using Zillow.com’s home valuation data.
On top of all that, Yahoo! Real Estate provides one of the most comprehensive home search of over 3 million properties, as well as extensive local research (e.g. local market conditions, median prices, price trends, mortgage rates and rate trends). We hope that this significant upgrade fulfills our mission of enabling users (that’s you) to buy, sell or rent the right home. Check it all out and let us know what you think!

Since you are speaking about real-estate. I have recently had a chance of using a Personal Finance Software package by Australian business Parcus Group - Personal Finance Associate.
The product is very good. For the AU$29 it costs, you get budgeting, financial planning templates as well as advanced features that typically cost loads more as separate software packages such as investment real estate calculations (mainly based on rental cash-flow analysis) as well as some value based shares valuations (based on Warren Buffet’s stock valuation methodology)
Their website is http://www.parcusgroup.com
For anyone interested in their own wealth creation this product is definitely worth looking at.
One improvement could be integration with something like Yahoo ! MAP service for linking the property financial data to the location.
