hotpads.com may have missed out on a Webby this year, but the map-based real estate search engine will still be increasing its presence across the web with the release of its housing search widget. “Over the last year we’ve had many people asking how they can integrate the hotpads.com map-based search experience directly into their own website,” hotpads.com explains. “This a great way to add even more useful content to your site and help visitors visualize what’s going on in the local market.”

In other app-related news, current US number six property portal homes.com released its mortgage calculator app for iPhone. The free app includes a “Buy or Rent” tool, which calculates the user’s best financial option based on factors like monthly expenses, local market conditions and taxes. homes.com already offers home search applications for iPhone, Blackberry, Windows Phone 7 and Android.
