Greenspun on Real Estate

March 19, 2004 - Let's get depressed two days in a row... It is the 10th anniversary of the consumer Web. We have very good mapping services both on- and off-line. A wide variety of sites are visited by people from all over North America every day. Yet when people want to sell a house they almost always are forced to pay 6% to a realtor, just as they did 30 years ago before all of this fancy computer technology was widespread.

Has anyone tried eBay House? Why doesn't it work?
