Well, OK maybe not THAT serious. But the good people at Sony Online Entertainment have upped the ante for property owners in the magical land of Free Realms by adding a searchable, user rated database of all registered homeowners.
With a few simple clicks you can either add your home to the directory, or search for the biggest, cushiest cribs in the land.
Here is what the Free Realms crew has to say about it:
Once a house is in the directory other players can check it out without having to be on the friends list of the owner. Visitors can also vote on how cool a house is by giving it 1 to 5 stars.
You can search for a house by typing in the name of the owner or the house name. You can also see a list of the most popular homes currently on the list.
There are tabs for houses that belong to your friends and houses that have been recently added to the directory.
To visit a house, simply click the Visit! button!

Although this isn’t so much a gameplay feature, it does help in discovering some pretty cool sights around the map you may not have had the chance to encounter, and what’s more it gives you a chance to meet new players who share similar tastes. Now you can have a sweet backyard Robgoblin BBQ with the awesome neighbors you never even knew you had.
To access the Housing Directory just click on the icon that looks like a house from your toolbar or at the Welcome Screen.
