SHACKPRICES.COM INTRODUCES MASS TRANSIT REAL ESTATE SEARCH

    /24-7PressRelease/ - SEATTLE, WA, May 11, 2007 - To kick off a summer when gas prices are expected to hit $4 a gallon for the first time in U.S. history, ShackPrices.com introduces live near a transit line search to help home buyers find a home along any mass transit line in King County - for free.

Beginning today, home buyers can search from thousands of homes for sale near bus stops along one or more King County Metro Bus lines or near Sound Transit Rail stops. Home buyers can combine their search for homes near mass transit lines with a variety of other factors including price, size, and keywords using ShackPrices' intuitive map search.

"By letting home buyers search for properties near current and future transit stops, we are giving the public a valuable tool to find homes that fit an environmentally friendly lifestyle," said ShackPrices.com co-founder Galen Ward, "Most importantly, we're giving home buyers the opportunity to find a home that should substantially increase in value when transit lines are complete. Homes within 500 feet of rail lines are worth as much as $40,000 more than similar homes just a little farther away."

Interested home buyers and browsers can go to http://www.ShackPrices.com/about/map to learn more about the first real estate search site to feature searching for real estate near mass transit lines or go straight to Shackprices.com/map to search for homes near transit lines right away.
