News Corp’s REA Group and Move Inc. on Thursday unveiled a new global properties network that delivers the world’s largest source of listings –more than 3 million homes in 56 countries.
Via the international property portals at realestate.com.au and realtor.com, customers can browse through listings from the U.S., Australia, Italy, Luxembourg, Germany, France, Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong, Macau, Indonesia and Thailand, among other nations, through a simple interface, customized to each location.
Realtor.com’s international edition will be in a beta version until its full launch this winter, when U.S. listings will be added, according to News Corp officials.
Though the network is making its debut Thursday, there are already plans for expansion. Future iterations of the sites will include listings content from other News Corp properties, including Mansion Global and India-based PropTiger, as well as other partner sites around the world.
