Real estate data site PropertyShark.com has been named to the TIME.com Top 50 Websites of 2009. The list includes the Top 50 sites that are “indispensable to navigating, enjoying yourself, shopping, or just killing time on the Web.” PropertyShark.com aggregates real estate data and listings from hundreds of public and proprietary sources

into one comprehensive property research Web site covering a dozen major markets. The company says site visitors can view detailed property reports for almost every residential or commercial property, scan recent sales comparables of similar properties to determine market values, and browse nearby for sale and foreclosure listings. “For PropertyShark.com to be included by TIME.com among a list of internet giants like Google, Wikipedia, Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter is quite an honor, particularly coming after a year where traditional real estate paradigms have been tested,” said Matthew Haines, founder of PropertyShark.com. “Now more than ever, it is critical that real estate professionals, investors, and homebuyers have access to comprehensive property research tools in order to help make intelligent, informed decisions, and PropertyShark will continue to aggregate real estate information to help meet this goal,” Haines added.
