On October 17, 2018, CREA will release a completely new redesign of REALTOR.ca.
In addition to visual enhancements on both the desktop and mobile site, the release will include the following changes:
- An optimized and refined search experience which includes:
- More prominence for the most used search fields;
- Complete removal of all sub-areas;
- A “Type-Ahead” feature on the location field for recent searches;
- School catchment areas are now displayed on the map.
- New top level navigational to help users’ better access the tools they need;
- New financial calculators;
- Addition of REALTOR® and brokerage images on listing cards;
- Improvements to CAPTCHA handling.
This scheduled event will take place between 6 a.m. and 4 p.m. and is not expected to impact users connections.
“School Catchment Areas displayed on Map”
School Boards are Notorious for NOT Updating maps and areas. Changes are also frequently made and all kinds of Crazy Rules and Policies exist on this matter that are simply to Complex and Too long to list.
I would suggest Listing all nearby schools and possible giving them a Rating based on the Fraser Report. Providing Contact Information and Websites for all the School Boards would be Great too. Listing Private/Montessori schools with Contact/Websites would also be a Great Idea.
