NYTIMES listings

It's horrible and I never use it anymore. Only the UI on my DVR box has frustrated me more, and that's in part because I'm stuck w/ it.

I do like how it gives you the feature where you can read a little about the listing before clicking on it and reading the full thing, but just about everything else doesn't work the way it should. The neighborhoods I am looking in tend to advertise listings mostly on craigslist or nytimes so this is hideously annoying.

I have noticed some improvements. Like I now receive email updates. I signed up for them a year ago or more and never did, guess I'm glad I waited that long.
Also the search by address is now back. I think they are working on it. Honestly... :-)

It looks like they tried to "borrow" a bunch of ideas from StreetEasy when they relaunched (time-on-market, changes in listing price, email updates, even a weak attempt at comps) but just haven't implemented it well.

did you notice how the comps were initially the most recent sales for the building (if address is available) and not shifted to older sales from early 2008 or 2007?

Am I the only one who can't do tabbed browsing with the NYTimes listings? I'm a bit of a technodoofus, so perhaps I'm missing something?

Times actually had email alerts for many years now. The recent sales database was always there too just not on the listings. The price drops are new. Times gets the listings quicker and has the FSBOs but StreetEasy is better for price history because it retains the history when a listing moves to a new broker.

Is there some way on the NYTimes service to quickly see the maintenance without opening the whole listing? I hate wasting the time of clicking on something that looks promising, waiting for the full listing to open, and then discovering that the little 2 bedroom comes with $6000 maintenance.
