Ranking the real estate search websites

No, the paper didn’t actually rank them, I’m asking you to do that. What the paper did is test-drive some of the most popular websites for real estate searches. You can read that article here, or view each of the websites in screen-grab form here. I’ll list the sites below, for your convenience, but the real purpose of this is to ask you: Which ones do you like, and why? Feel free to suggest sites that are not on the list below.
