Movoto just sent me mail today saying that they now support searching and viewing the San Francisco Real Estate market (previously they only supported the bay area). This is great because the San Francisco MLS is no good (it's slow, doesn't offer a lot of data, and has a very cryptic search interface). The Bay Area MLS is half decent but is also light on meta data (where Movoto really shines).

Information that movoto offers:

• Great Maps support
• Customized searches
• Email updates for new listings
• Favorites for homes
• Comparable sales
• School data
• Days on Market (crucial info that SF MLS does not offer)

I used Movoto to find my house and could not be happier with all the features they offer, and the great maps integration with Google Maps and now Windows Live Local Bird's Eye View. I sent the link to a good friend of mine a few days after making an offer on our house and he was able to find a home a few days later. It's really great if you are interested in a specific neighborhood and want to use the map interface to show you homes both in your price range and with your options.

If you are looking for a home in the bay area, check them out. I don't think you'll find a better real-estate searching site (and I have nothing to do with them at all, just a really happy customer).
