Simply type "San Francisco real estate" or "homes for rent in Manhattan" in the Google search box. Below the sponsored links on the search results page it will say something like "Find results for homes for sale in manhattan in Housing search."
Click on that to get a beautiful Google map populated with listings.
Or just click here to go directly to the search page.
(Results may not be available for all locations).
Suggestion: why not offer integration with My Maps so people can more easily manage and share their housing search?
Otherwise, it's a neat and handy Google mashup for prospective buyers and renters. — BEN POPKEN

- Markers were in the absolute wrong places. Wrong street, wrong neighborhood, not even close.
- Markers on the map did not match markers on the list on the left. For example, #2 on the map was on Broadway, #2 in the list was on Upper Terrace.
Definitely not ready for prime time.

]]>Yeah, they've got some work to do on this one, but it has potential. I found the "foreclosure" search type particularly interesting...

streeteasy.com
realestateadvisor.com
trulia.com
nytimes.com
I played with the google listings and found that the interface sucks. These other sites have maps as well, more listings, and are just overall superior on many levels.
