Abstract

Systems and methods for scoring geographic locations and for providing related searching tools are disclosed herein. According to an aspect, a method includes receiving one or more property identifiers. The method also includes receiving geographic attributes for the one or more property identifiers. Further, the method includes assigning, for each of the one or more property identifiers, a weighting to each geographic attribute based on a distance of a property associated with the property identifier from a location of the geographic attribute. Further, the method includes assigning, for each of the one or more property identifiers, a score to the property identifier based on one or more weightings to the geographic attributes for the property identifier.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

at a processor and memory;

receiving one or more property identifiers;

receiving geographic attributes for the one or more property identifiers; and

for each of the one or more property identifiers;

assigning a weighting to each geographic attribute based on a distance of a property associated with the property identifier from a location of the geographic attribute; and

assigning a score to the property identifier based on one or more weightings to the geographic attributes for the property identifier.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the one or more property identifiers are associated with one or more of houses, condominiums, townhouses, apartments, and commercial properties.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the geographic attributes include one or more of shopping amenities, dining amenities, children amenities, family amenities, pet amenities, art-culture amenities, healthcare amenities, and enrichment amenities.

4. The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, for each of the one or more property identifiers, the distance of the property associated with the property identifier from the location of the geographic attribute.

5. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving an inquiry from a user for one of the property identifiers; and

presenting, to the user, the score associated with the one of the property identifiers.

6. The method of claim 5, further comprising using the Internet to receive the inquiry and to present the score to the user.

7. A system comprising:

at least one memory and processor configured to;

receive one or more property identifiers;

receive geographic attributes for the one or more property identifiers; and

for each of the one or more property identifiers;

assign a weighting to each geographic attribute based on a distance of a property associated with the property identifier from a location of the geographic attribute; and

assign a score to the property identifier based on one or more weightings to the geographic attributes for the property identifier.

8. The system of claim 7, wherein the one or more property identifiers are associated with one or more of houses, condominiums, townhouses, apartments, and commercial properties.

9. The system of claim 7, wherein the geographic attributes include one or more of shopping amenities, dining amenities, children amenities, family amenities, pet amenities, art-culture amenities, healthcare amenities, and enrichment amenities.

10. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least a memory and processor is configured to determine, for each of the one or more property identifiers, the distance of the property associated with the property identifier from the location of the geographic attribute.

11. The system of claim 7, wherein the at least a memory and processor is configured to:

receive an inquiry from a user for one of the property identifiers; and

present, to the user, the score associated with the one of the property identifiers.

12. The system of claim 11, wherein the at least a memory and processor is configured to use the Internet to receive the inquiry and to present the score to the user.

13. A computer program product comprising:

a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising;

computer readable program code configured to receive one or more property identifiers;

computer readable program code configured to receive geographic attributes for the one or more property identifiers; and

computer readable program code configured to assign, for each of the one or more property identifiers, a weighting to each geographic attribute based on a distance of a property associated with the property identifier from a location of the geographic attribute; and

computer readable program code configured to assign, for each of the one or more property identifiers, a score to the property identifier based on one or more weightings to the geographic attributes for the property identifier.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the one or more property identifiers are associated with one or more of houses, condominiums, townhouses, apartments, and commercial properties.

15. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the geographic attributes include one or more of shopping amenities, dining amenities, children amenities, family amenities, pet amenities, art-culture amenities, healthcare amenities, and enrichment amenities.

16. The computer program product of claim 13, further comprising computer readable program code configured to determine, for each of the one or more property identifiers, the distance of the property associated with the property identifier from the location of the geographic attribute.

17. The computer program product of claim 13, further comprising computer readable program code configured to:

receive an inquiry from a user for one of the property identifiers; and

present, to the user, the score associated with the one of the property identifiers.

18. The computer program product of claim 17, further comprising computer readable program code configured to use the Internet to receive the inquiry and to present the score to the user.
