On the one hand seeing all the foreclosed properties is deeply depressing. On the other hand these mashups are so much more insightful and powerful for investors in a wealth of real estate worlds. If I was an investor in residential properties I'd follow mash ups like this like a hawk. If I was looking for retail space opportunities I wouldn't need any other data than a map like this to stay out of certain regions. If I owned commercial/retail property and had vacancy in an area with lots of foreclosures....I'd drop my asking rents in a pinch. :D Very powerful maps.
