When I house hunted pre-Street View (and even pre decent photos being available in many cases), I spent so many hours driving to take a look at listings which were a big nope as soon as I got there if not before. I don't use Street View routinely but that is a case where it would have been extremely useful.

It really is amazing how well real estate photographers do in making a dump look attractive. And I'm not just talking about saturation or other photo editing (though that helps, too), but in just choosing the framing and the time of day to take the photo.

Using Street View probably whittled my list down by half, and saved a lot of wasted showings.
