For those selling property in the United States or Canada ZippyListings provides free advertising space. Properties are listed according to country, city, whether they are for sale or rent, total size, price, number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the owner’s name and phone number, a 200-character description, and a link to a website.

The same criteria can be used by people searching for a property to rent or buy. With 300 cities this is a comprehensive site, and it would be nice to see similar websites for more countries. The front page also draws attention to the most recently listed properties so you can see if any new ones have arrived in your desired area and price range. Along with the property information ZippyListings also has a fairly new blog where some community building could add to the site.

ZippyListings can automatically help advertise properties by autoposting your information to Twitter and, according to their description, to dozens of other sites. The site is being built, so it’s possible to ask for extra cities to be included. The cities with most activity and listings are selected as Top Cities, and the Blog is updated by the designers with information about how it works and new developments.
