Google Steps into Map-based Real Estate Search in Australia/NZ/U.S.
The code for the tool was developed in Sydney and launches today in Australia and New Zealand. It has already been added to real estate searches in the U.S. Providers of real estate data can submit their listing, but some in the region have already said they will not, arguing they offer better portals. Some third party developers will no doubt think this is a land grab (ha!) for their business.

This is perhaps no different than when the large GIS technology vendors slowly but surely put their third party developers out of businesses. You have been warned.
