World Cup fever has prompted Google to roll out Street View across South Africa, and myproperty.co.za says it is the first portal in the country to add the imagery to its listings.
As in this example, myproperty.co.za’s listings now include Street View as well as the top-down Google Maps view. “Traditional show houses may in effect become a thing of the past,” myproperty.co.za predicts, adding that it is also preparing to launch property search applications for iPhone and Android.
With Street View now live in South Africa, we can expect to see it added to the other portals in the market, including property24.com and privateproperty.co.za, which currently provides virtual property tours.
