I'll take a look at the chronological sorting issue. From a first glance it is working for me but it could be something else going on. Thanks again for the feedback.

You produce a lot of data but it is hard to make sense of it all, maybe some kind of comparison tool would be useful?
Also I am very curious how you managed to do the whole nearby celebrity address thing?
This actually has a lot of potential, but I am not sure if you could profit by selling this to real estate agents as something like this kind of makes their job obsolete.
Maybe you could target the renters demographic, people who rent generally switch locations more often (therefore more recurrent to your service) and are not as accommodated by real estate agents and other third parties (probably because they are not spending as much so no fat commissions).
I don't know your business model very well but another idea is maybe leaving the service free and placing advertisements. Your user demographic is looking to buy or rent a property - very valuable to advertisers. So maybe you should cache the pages you generate and add them to an automatically generated sitemap allowing google to index those and hopefully you will start appearing on search results for people looking to buy a property. If you want to be really aggressive you could scrape property listings off real estate websites and pre-generate those to be indexed by google with the intention of appearing on search results.
Sorry, I'm rambling here ;)
Also, I just noticed that the data is actualy quite comprehensive. You have a lot of fluff in-between the detailed data. Dashboard, then some picture carousel, and then map. But the cream of the crop data is buried below. That data is really awesome, pest control, neighbourhood crimes. I am not a UI /UX person, but there has to be a better visual representaion for it. I like how you mention milestones and even famous celebrities in the vicinity, but at first it seems a bit confusing at to what purpose those pictures serve until it hits you. I did not even scroll down at first. I just stopped at dashboard, clicked the reports and that's it. Really good idea, polish it really well. I know a bit superficial advice, but you can get this thing going pretty well. Offer a one-time service too for $20 or so.
That's great feedback as well. We'd debated whether we needed to put a heading above the celebrity carousel and decided to leave it out. I guess we might want to add that in.
Totally agree that the meat of it is down in those datatables. One of our top priorities is to figure out a way to better visualize that. It'll also make the page load much quicker since all that raw data is a lot of HTML to render and send across the wire.
We're still trying to figure out pricing and at this point just want people to use it for free so we can get feedback and iterate and improve before we think about charging. Thanks again for the great feedback.
