Sunshine Coast Map: Property For Sale The map below includes virtually all homes for sale on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia that are listed on the Multiple Listing Service® of the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver. (A few vacant lots of interest may also be included from time to time but most are not shown on the map.) I can show any of these properties to you, even those where I am not the listing agent. Simply give me a call at 604-741-5347 or send me an email at gary@garylittle.ca and I'll make it happen. Click here for a special smartphone version of this interactive real estate map. It works with the Apple iPhone and Android-powered smartphones. The smartphone version is also the best one to use if you are using a computer with a small screen (e.g., a netbook). Click here to perform a a traditional search of Sunshine Coast properties where results are returned in a list, rather than shown on an interactive map. This is the recommended method when looking for vacant lots because only a select few of them are included on the interactive map. Note: The map performs much more slowly if you are using the Internet Explorer browser on Windows — I strongly recommend you use the Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Apple Safari, or Opera browser instead. Please wait while the map information is loaded... Go Down to Map Go Down to Map Instructions

Interactive Real Estate Map Instructions

Go Up to Map

You are encouraged to register in order to create an account you can use to gain access to advanced features of the map. To do this, click the Login link that appears near the right side of the bar above the map, then click the Go to Registration page link in the dialog box that appears.

All you need to provide in order to create an account is your name, email address, telephone number, and the password you want to use to log in to the map. For security reasons, once you create an account you will receive an email with instructions on how to confirm your password. Once you confirm, you can log in by clicking the Login link and providing your email address and password. Mark the Remember Me checkbox if you want to automatically log in every time you visit the map page from the same computer. Your account and password is valid for 30 days but can be renewed.

When you are logged in to the map, a variety of map data are saved automatically when you leave the map page and restored when you return and log in (even if you return on a different computer). Here is what is saved:

• Notes you have made on properties.
• The list of saved search queries.
• The list of properties marked as favourites.
• The map position, zoom level, and mode.
• The sort order of the properties in lists.
• The "from address" used when you're asking for directions.
• The preference controlling whether the help tip dialog is to appear when the map first starts up.
• The preference controlling whether the search panel is to be visible when the map first starts up.
• The name of your news feed and the temperature units used in your weather feed.

When you are logged in, your name appears in the bar above the map and the Login link changes name to Logout. Click Logout to save the current state of the map to your account and prevent further changes from being saved. (You are automatically logged out when you close the map page unless you marked the Remember Me checkbox when you logged in.)

If you forget your login password, or want to change it, click the Go to Change Password page link in the Map Login dialog box, then provide your email address and a new password. Instructions on how to confirm the new password will then be sent to your email address. The new password is activated as soon as you confirm.

• Zooming. There are several ways to zoom the map in and out:
  1. Use the slider and the and controls on the left side of the map.
  2. Use the Shift-drag technique to zoom in to a specific area of the map currently in view. To do this, hold down a Shift key while clicking and dragging the mouse from one corner of the area to the opposite corner, then release the mouse button. To cancel the operation, release the Shift key before releasing the mouse button. An alternative to using the Shift key is to use the magnifying glass control (below the pan/zoom control on the left side of the map); click it to turn drag zoom mode on and off. If you use this technique, you can cancel a drag in progress by typing any key on the keyboard.
  3. Double-click the mouse at a location where you want the map centered: a regular double-click zooms in one level, a double-click using the right mouse button zooms out one level. (On a Macintosh mouse with only a single button, hold down the Control key while double-clicking to zoom out one level.)

• Centering. Centre the map around a location by double-clicking at the desired location (this also zooms the map in by one level).

• Panning. View neighbouring areas by clicking in the map (outside the area of a marker) and dragging the mouse to move the map. You can also go directly to an area by choosing its name from the Pan to Area popup menu in the bar above the map; this may also change the zoom level.

• Changing View. Select a standard street Map view, a Satellite view, or a Terrain view by selecting the appropriate option in the popup menu in the top right corner of the map. To show satellite imagery overlaid with street names, choose the Hybrid option in this menu.

• Finding. There are several criteria you can specify to limit the group of properties shown on the map:
  • The property type: All Properties, Houses, Condos/Townhouses, Manufactured Homes, Vacant Lots
  • The geographic area
  • When the property was first offered for sale at the current price
  • The minimum price
  • The maximum price
  • The minimum number of bedrooms
  • The minimum number of bathrooms
  • The minimum and maximum house size
  • The minimum lot size
  • The desired features: Waterfront, View, Fireplace, Hot Tub, Pool, Security System, Workshop
  • Whether the property is one of your favourites

  As soon as you change any of these criteria, the map updates automatically.

  Click the Find All button, on the line below the map, to return all the search criteria to their default values so that all properties will appear on the map once again.

• Saving Searches. To save the current search for later use, enter a name for the search in the box to the left of the Save Current Search button in the bar below the map, then click the button (or type the Return key). This saves the search criteria, the selected points of interest, the properties that have been marked as favourites, as well as the current map position and zoom level.

  To run a saved search, choose its name from the popup menu to the right of the Run label. Note that several standard searches appear at the top of this menu; their names are in brackets.

  Note that if you save a search with the name Startup it will run automatically when you first open the map.

  A caveat: all properties are removed from the Favourites List prior to running a saved search, so always run a saved search before creating your Favourites List.

  When you run a saved search, any property that meets the search criteria and has been added to the map (or its price has changed) either today or since you last ran the search is marked on the map with a solid green icon .

  To remove a saved search, choose its name from the popup menu to the right of the Remove label.

  Click the Request Alerts... button to arrange for property alerts to be sent to you periodically by email. Each alert summarizes new properties — satisfying the current search criteria — that have come on the market since the previous alert was sent. To request an alert, all you need to do is provide your email address and indicate the desired frequency of the alerts (daily, weekly, or every two weeks).

• Searching For a Specific Group of Properties. If you know the MLS® number for a property, or its street address, or you're looking for a property in a specific postal code area or with a particular keyword in its description, you can quickly show the property (or properties) on the map by entering the MLS® number, address, postal code, or keyword, in the box to the left of the Search button in the bar below the map, then clicking the button (or typing the Return key).
  Note that if you are searching for an address it is sufficient to type in just the street number and street name, or either one of the two. It's best not to include the street type (e.g., RD, AV, ST, etc.) since sometimes properties on the same street have been entered inadvertently by the Real Estate Board with different street types (RD instead of AV, and vice versa, for example).

  After properties are found, the map moves to the geographic centre of the properties and only these properties are shown on the map. In addition, a yellow status line appears near the top-right corner of the map reminding you of the search terms entered. If only one property is found, its information panel is shown and its marker bounces for a brief time. Click the close box in the status line to show once again all the properties satisfying the current "find" criteria or click the Find All button on the line below the map to show all properties on the map.

  A keyword you specify can actually be a sequence of words separated from each other by a space character; in this situation, a property is found only if every word specified is in the property's description (in any order). This is called an AND search. For example, to look for properties with the words barn and pond in their descriptions, specify barn pond.

  To find a property with any of several specified words in the description, enclose the alternative words in parentheses and separate them from each other with a comma character. This is called an OR search. For example, to look for properties which have the words fixer-upper or TLC in their descriptions, specify (fixer-upper, TLC).

  If the order of the words is important, put them inside quotation marks in the desired order. For example, "priced to sell" (with quotation marks) would match the description "property is priced to sell" but not "priced at assessed value, can also sell furniture to buyer". A search for priced to sell (no quotation marks) would match both descriptions.

  Note that a search normally looks for an exact word match (or for the plural or singular of the word). To match any word that begins with the characters in the keyword, add a * (called the wildcard character) to the end of the keyword. For example, pano* matches the words panorama or panoramic. Put a - (called the not character) in front of a keyword if you're looking for a property that does not contain the word. For example, court -tennis matches all properties containing the word court except those that also include the word tennis.

• Quick Summary. To quickly see the price, the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, the house size, the lot size, the house age, the street address, the number of days on market, and a small photo of the property, move the mouse over the property's marker on the map and the information will appear in a yellow summary box below the marker. Every couple of seconds the photo shown automatically changes to another one available for the property; holding down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) when the summary box is visible prevents the current photo from changing until the key is released.

  The summary box disappears when you move the mouse away from the marker.

• Property Detail. To see detailed information about a property in the sidebar to the right of the map, click its marker on the map or click its address in the Favourites List or View List. The information panel that appears covers the Favourites List or View List normally found in the sidebar; click the close box to close the panel and reveal the list once again. There are several tasks you can perform inside the information panel:
  • If there are multiple photos for a property, a Photo Gallery button will appear; click it to view the photos for the property at full size using a convenient photo browser.
  • Click the Print/Email Brochure button to view a complete brochure for the property, suitable for printing or emailing.
  • Click the Watch button to arrange for alerts to be sent to you by email when the price of the property changes.
  • Click the Directions button to show driving directions to the property from any location you choose.
  • Click the property icon to centre the map around the property's location and zoom in to the third highest level.
  • Mark the Favourite checkbox to identify the property as a favourite so that it will appear in the Favourites List.
  • Click the Street View button, if it's not grayed out, to activate Street View panoramic photos (see below). If the button is grayed out, Street View photos are not available in the immediate vicinity of the property.
  • Click the Find Similar button to show on the map only similar properties located within a 2 km radius of the property whose detail is being shown. A similar property is one that has a price within 25%, a home size within 25%, and the same number of bedrooms and bathrooms, plus or minus one. In addition, a circle with a 2 km radius appears on the map along with a yellow status line near the top-right corner reminding you that similar properties are being shown on the map. Click the close box in the status line to show once again all the properties satisfying the current "find" criteria or click the Find All button on the line below the map to show all properties on the map.

  Every couple of seconds the photo shown in the information panel automatically changes to another one available for the property; holding down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) prevents the current photo from changing until the key is released. To manually advance to the next photo, click the current photo. Hold down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) while clicking to show the previous photo instead.

  Near the bottom of the detail page is a text box where you can type in personal notes about the property (and view notes you've previously entered). If you are logged in, you can save these notes to your map account by clicking the Save the Notes button. Click the Remove the Notes button to erase any existing notes.

• View List. The sidebar to the right of the map initially shows the View List, a list of all properties visible in the portion of the map being displayed. This list is automatically updated when you pan the map, change the zoom level, or change the search criteria. To show the Favourites List in the sidebar instead, click the Switch to Favourites List link at the top of the sidebar.

  Mark the Fav checkbox on the left side of the information line for a property to identify the property as a favourite so that it will appear in the Favourites List.

  Click the property's photo to bring up the photo gallery window. The number of photos for the property is indicated in the small box in the top left corner of the primary photo.

  Click a property address in the list to centre the map around the property's location, zoom in to the third highest level, and show the property's information panel.

  Properties are initially listed in order from highest to lowest price in the list. To reverse the sort order, click the label at the top of the Price column.

• Favourites List. The Favourites List also appears in the sidebar to the right of the map. Properties in the list can be compared, watched, printed, emailed, and included in a virtual tour.

  If the View List is being shown in the sidebar, switch to the Favourites List by clicking the Switch to Favourites List link at the top of the sidebar. If the Favourites List is being shown, switch to the View List by clicking the Switch to View List link.

  There are several ways to mark a property as a favourite:

  1. Click the Favourite box in the property's information panel to toggle the favourite status on and off.
  2. Click the property's marker on the map while holding down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC). This toggles the favourite status on and off.
  3. Hold down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) when you use the Shift-drag technique to zoom the map (see the Zooming section above). This marks as favourites all the properties within the area you select.

  The marker for a property marked as a favourite is .

  There are also three buttons in the bar below the map for marking groups of properties as favourites: All (all properties satisfying the current search criteria), In View (all properties visible within the map frame), and None.

  To show just favourite properties on the map, mark the My Favourite checkbox in the bar below the map (at the end of the features line).

  Click the Zoom to Favourites button to change the zoom level to the highest possible value that allows all the favourites to be in view on the map. The centre of the map also changes to the geographic centre of the favourites.

  An ID number appears on the map below the marker for a property marked as a favourite. This allows you to easily find the line relating to the property in the Favourites List. This number reflects the relative value of the property compared to other properties in the list: the higher the number, the higher the price.

  In the Favourites List:

  • Click the remove box to remove a property from the list.
  • Click the property's photo to bring up the photo gallery window. The number of photos for the property is indicated in the small box in the top left corner of the primary photo.
  • Click the property address to centre the map around the property's location, zoom in to the third highest level, and show the property's information panel.
  • Click the Compare button at the top of the list to show a side-by-side summary of favourite properties.
  • Click the Watch button at the top of the list to arrange for alerts to be sent to you by email when the price of any property in the list changes.
  • Click the Print/Email Brochures button at the top of the list to print brochures for all the favourite properties or to send the brochures to any email address.
  • Click the Print/Email List button at the top of the list to print the list or send it to any email address.
  • Click the help symbol at the top of the list to show or hide text that describes how to use the Favourites List.

  Properties are initially listed in order from highest to lowest price in the list. To reverse the sort order, click the label at the top of the Price column.

  Note that the list of favourite properties is automatically saved when you close the map and is restored when you return. Be aware, however, that it is automatically cleared when you run a saved search.

• Virtual Tour. To begin a virtual tour of the group of properties marked as favourites, click the Begin Tour of Favourites button in the bar below the map; click it again (when the button reads End Tour of Favourites) to end the tour. Specify the duration of each property visit on the tour in the seconds / visit box (5 to 99 seconds).

  While a tour is underway, use the controller in the bar below the map to go back to the previous property, pause or resume the tour, and go immediately to the next property . You can step through a tour manually by pausing the tour after starting it, then using the control to advance to the next property when you're ready.

  You can also use the keyboard to control the tour. While holding down the Control and Option (Macintosh) or Alt (PC) keys, press ↓ to pause and resume the tour; press ← to go back to the previous property; press → to go to the next property; and press ↑ to stop the tour.

• Fresh Inventory. A marker with a green outline identifies a property that has either been added to the map in the past two weeks or whose price has changed in the past two weeks.

• Price Trends. An arrow following a price indicates whether the price has decreased (↓) or increased (↑) in the past two weeks. A price with a line through it is the previous asking price for the property.

• Popularity. You will usually see a number in brackets following a property's MLS® number. This is the number of times someone has clicked the property's marker on the map to view detailed information about the property.

• Points of Interest. To show points of interest on the map, check one or more of the boxes on the Points of interest line in the bar below the map. (Click the purple box on the left side of the Points of interest line to show all points of interest; hold down the Option key (Macintosh) or Alt key (PC) when clicking to show no points of interest.) To see more information about a point of interest, move the mouse over the point of interest's marker on the map and the information will appear in a yellow box below the marker. The box disappears when you move the mouse away from the marker.

• News. There is a news ticker in the bar above the map — a different headline appears every 5 seconds or so and you can click the headline to bring up the full story in a separate window. Click the arrows next to the headline to see right away the previous or next headline. Click the NEWS link to change the news channel to the next one available; the name of the channel appears briefly after you click the link.

• Sharing. There are three links on the right side of the bar above the map: Print, Send, and Link. Use Print to print the map and the Favourites List; use Send to email the web address of the map — this web address reflects the exact state of the map, including the current search criteria, the position and zoom level, the properties marked as favourites, and the points of interest being displayed; and use Link to see the web address of the map that you can copy and paste into an email, the address field of a bookmark, or an instant message.

• Help Tips. Click the help symbol on the left side of the bar below the map to view a help tip. In the dialog box that appears, click the Next Tip link to view a different help tip. Click OK when you're done.

  The help tip dialog normally appears when the map first starts up. If you are logged in to the map, a Show tips at startup checkbox appears in the dialog; use it to indicate whether you want to see the help tip dialog at startup time.

• Street View Panoramas. Street View is a Google service that lets you explore street-level 360-degree panoramic imagery of an area. You can easily change the direction of view — left and right, up and down — using Street View controls or keys on the keyboard.

  There are two ways to activate Street View. The first method is to drag the "peg man" icon that appears below the panning control in the top left corner of the map. When you begin to drag, those streets that have a panorama available are outlined in blue; drop the peg man on any of these streets that you wish to explore. Note that if the peg man is grayed out and cannot be dragged, no panoramas are available for any of the streets currently in view.

  The second method is to automatically place the peg man at the location of a particular property by clicking the Street View button that appears in the information panel for the property. If the button is grayed out, Street View is not available in the immediate vicinity of the property. In this situation, you can use the first method to place the peg man on a nearby street instead.

  When Street View is activated, a Street View window appears, covering the map. Click the close box in the top-right corner of the Street View window to exit Street View and return to the map.

  In the Street View window there are controls on the left for changing the orientation of the panorama. Click the left and right arrows, or use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard, or drag the directional ring encircling the group of arrows, to spin the photo to the left or right. (If the keyboard doesn't seem to work, click in the Street View window first to make it active.) Click the up and down arrows to tilt the photo up and down. You can also change the orientation by dragging the image in the Street View window.

  Click the + and - controls or drag the slider to zoom in and out of the panoramic photo.

  When you move the mouse inside the Street View window, you will see lines with directional arrows on them along streets. Click the arrows to move along the street. (When using some browsers, you can also use the up and down arrow keys on the keyboard to move along a street.) When you reach an intersection, you can move onto a cross street by clicking its arrows. Use the left and right arrow keys on the keyboard to change the direction of view.
