Google has announced that beginning 2 weeks from tomorrow (February 10th), they no longer will allow the Google Maps to provide searches for real estate listings.
They cite many reasons for the change, including cost, low usage patterns, and availble competitive sites that offer such a service.
This is good news for some of the other sites (such as Zillow, Trulia, Yahoo, Bigger Pockets, and Realtor.com) and probably good news for Google and its investors or they wouldn't have pulled back like this.
