All hail our Google overlords!

Not sure how commonly known this is, but Google Maps now has real estate listings under the "More" button, and lets you refine searches. Screw Zillow man... this rocks!

There's also a "Webcams" option... hmm........

is there a way to set the default as map instead of whatever it was last left at? satellite takes too long to load on my shitty fly-by-night internet here at work

Yeah I don't think so but all you have to do is click the map button

I took a look and didn't find it useful. Google settings say it's showing listings "for sale" but the majority are actually old listings that sold months ago.

I don't even see this as an option. I even tried to look in DC and miami and didn't see it there either. All I see under "more" is zoom in and street view.
