I would love to see a real estate search site that used what Latitude or Foursquare know about me to suggest houses/apartments.

I imagine a search service that tells you things "4 times a week, you check in at restaurants with 1 mile of this apartment" or "Buying this house will shave 8 miles off your commute."

I like it, but don't see the need for the Foursquare stuff (possibly because I don't use or get it). I already know where I work and what restaurants I go to. A site where I can filter on must be within N minutes walk/drive/bike/train ride of these addresses would be great. The trick would be, not to simply measure the distance between two points, but to take into consideration public transport, cycle paths, traffic levels and similar things.
