Retiring Real Estate on Google Maps

Did any of you ever actually use the real estate feature on Google Maps? I guess the fact that I even had to ask that question just reinforces the reason Google is killing the service off.

In part due to low usage, the proliferation of excellent property-search tools on real estate websites, and the infrastructure challenge posed by the impending retirement of the Google Base API (used by listing providers to submit listings), we’ve decided to discontinue the real estate feature within Google Maps on February 10, 2011.
