Puluwai is a simple, easy-to-use mobile real estate search application for Android. It allows you to search a worldwide database of current real estate property listings. You can specify a location, a price range, number of bedrooms, and critical keywords that you’re seeking.

Be sure to use the menu button! Many useful features of the application are accessible on each screen via this button.

* Any location format supported by the well-known Google Maps interface is also supported by Puluwai. You can enter a street address such as “53-3858 Hiwahiwa Street, Kapaau HI 96755″, a latitude, longitude pair as “37.460,-122.138″ , a major airport code such as SFO or LAX, a city name with a state or country such as “Paris, France”, or simply a ZIP code.
* Clicking the near button on the search page causes Puluwai to find your current latitude and longitude (using the android Location API) and use this as the center of your search.
* The keywords input field is handy for searching the description of real estate listings. For instance, you could enter “ocean” if you desire an ocean view.
