		<description>The search landscape will continue to be very fragmented and I don&#039;t think one clear winner will ever emerge as the one place everyone goes.  The destination portal is changing now anyway.  Websites are becoming more modular so it becomes more a question of what tools will emerge.  Zillow and Trulia are certainly leading here.

What&#039;s clear, is the consumers are slowly emerging as the winners here.  We are seeing online distribution of listings evolve so that it is becoming easier and easier for listings to receive wider and wider exposure.  The fastest change that has been taking place is the wider distribution real estate professionals are generating.  What is also happening, albeit a slower pace, is the ability for a home owner to generate similar wide exposure for his/her home.  Right now, a home owner can advertise their home on Google Base, Zillow, FSBO sites, Kijiji, Craigslist and access even more using solutions such as vFlyer.  What changes will come about when home owners can easily generate broad advertising exposure by themselves, for free?  How does the model change?</description>
