Nestoria Blog

As you know, dear loyal Nestoria blog readers, we’re always working to make it as quick and easy as possible for you to find exactly the house or flat of your dreams. Often though we only have very limited information to work with. For example, if you search for a ‘property in Manchester‘, a city where we currently have over 400 properties, it’s hard for us to know exactly which property we should put at the top of the results.

Using the magic that is Nestoria Rank we of course do our best to get high quality property descriptions to the top, but we’re under no illusions that we always get it right.

Which is why today we launched a new feature we call “more like this”. Next to each property description you will now see a link entitled “Similar Properties” - with a single click you can now re-sort the properties to order them by similarity to a home you are interested in. So if we didn’t find your dream home, but we did find something close to your dream home, you can now quickly drill down to relevant properties.

We think this is an important step on the path towards making property search even easier and faster.

For those readers that like to follow our technical progress, it may interest you to know we’re launching this feature using “split testing”. We know that we really have no clue how people want to search for property. We need to learn from our users. Half of all users are seeing one implementation, another half are seeing a slightly different design.

Here are the two implementations:

Version 1:

Version 2:

Give it a try, and as always please let us know what you think.
