Can’t We Have A Zillow In India?

There have been too many real estate portal launches. Every online classified company worth its name has presence in these verticals – matrimonial, jobs and real estate. Now I hear People Group which owns matri portal Shaadi.com is also looking at launching a property portal. They surprisingly also don’t have a jobs portal. I am sure they could be considering that too. However, it looks like it’s too late to enter the space since Naukri and Monster India (along with JobsAhead) rule the roost in that space.
Talking of property portals, I would like to see a site which are strikingly different from the current crop. Can’t anybody launch a Zillow in India? For instance, I want to buy a flat in Cochin, and I would like to watch the property in 3D sitting here in Delhi and place an order for it. The portal should help me in valuing the flat, also have the necessary e-commerce features to pay the advance. Probably, I need to go to Cochin only at the time of registration. This is the kind of customization somebody can bring in now to online real estate business. These ideas could be a bit far-fetched, but we need to go beyond plain vanilla classifieds portal.
