AvianoListing.com: a Single-listing Weblog

March 29, 2008 By Jay Thompson

Trying a slightly different take (for us) on the single-listing web site.

Call it more a single-listing blog.

Still needs some work, but I like the Neoclassical WordPress theme from the ever-brilliant Chris Pearson. The random rotating header graphics are cool, and I find the minimalist layout and typography appealing.

It’s also my first venture into WordPress v2.5.

About Jay Thompson

I'm a former real estate broker in Phoenix, Arizona, currently work for Zillow Group and am the founder of the Phoenix Real Estate Guy blog. I tend to drive too fast and scream at the University of Texas and Denver Broncos football teams. My two kids are smarter than most adults I know and my wife is simply amazing.

Excellent, Jay. The photo gallery is dynamite. On a separate note, I downloaded and installed WP 2.5 on a local system yesterday, and surprisingly, it doesn't break as many plugins (if any), as I thought it might.

Love what you've done with the single-listing site! I'm a big fan of that strategy for real estate sales, and I guess maybe I'm also a bit partial whenever I see one of my themes in use 😉

Very nice- Are you going to add a sign rider with the web address? With the blog format there is so much more functionality and features than the static- noninteractive web listing. Ok love it- great idea.

I like it. I'm thinking of going that route. Jay have you upgraded to 2.5 yet?

We haven't yet. After my last experience upgrading I'm more than a bit nervous. Right now my site is down due to my web hosting company…frustrating.

Thanks folks.

@Chris – thanks for stopping by. You've got some of the best WP themes out there (IMHO)

@Jamie – Yep, a sign rider is in the (near) future.

@Monika – I haven't upgraded Phoenix Real Estate Guy to v2.5 yet. The single property blog is on 2.5. I like what I've seen in 2.5 so far, but will likely wait a couple of weeks to see is a 2.5.1 comes out (as often happens with semi-major upgrades).

Great stuff. All the photos of details and finishes really work well.

And the truth comes out.

I saw your post of the Aviano listing via Twitter Sunday morning and checked it out. Quite nice.
