Marketplace Now Searchable By Location

You've asked to be able to sort the Marketplace out by location. Now you can!

Go to the Marketplace main page and click Add a Filter.

When you add a filter, a window pops up, asking you to Filter by Post Type or Filter by Location. Choose Filter by Location and City, State, Zip Code choices appear:

Enter your information and click Add Search Filter. This filters out everything except the location you just chose. Click Add a Filter again to specify property type.

@Mindy Jensen are they ever going to add a Vacation Rental category? It's such a hot niche, it's a shame not to have a category for VR , Short Term Rental Investors to search, and for sellers to list under. I know I'd get some use from it.  

There's such a wide array of what people use for Vacation Rental Properties, that the current classifications just don't work. For instance, people set up parks with camp trailers, mobile home, cabins, condos, houses, houseboats, etc.

    @Mindy Jensen

    I know we are a small - soon to be snow-stricken - component of BP, but how would I search/filter the Marketplace for properties in Canada?

    This is great. However, shouldn't you be able to search by both location and types to narrow the results?.  I was able to search for a location but not together with property type as the option only allowed for either location or type. Did I do anything wrong here?

    Thanks for continuous effort to make the BP site awesome :)

    @Ndy Onyido, you add filters one at a time. After you filter by location, the results appear, and you can add more filters if you need to, by clicking the same Add a Filter button near the top of the listings.
