About 30 days ago we launched a feature that allowed you to create a ‘hoody‘ widget to give neighbourhood information to your listings.

Realtor.ca (website formerly known as MLS.ca) has received mixed reactions since its launch. When a popular website changes their UI people always complain because it is ‘new and strange’.
