How do I stop Bing Maps from commonly showing me "Real Estate" when I'm simply searching for an address?

How do I stop Bing Maps from commonly showing me "Real Estate" when I'm simply searching for an address? This happens quite frequently and I do NOT want to see real estate. How do I turn this feature off; it's very obnoxious and is ruining my search experience for a simple address. I'd much rather bing maps tell me if it located an address or not. Some time ago, Bing maps used to plot an unknown house number at the street in the event the house number fit the house number range but wasn't exact. Again, how to remove the Real Estate from showing. I've tried removing the "Real Estate" line within the search history (albeit I don't want it to start with) and that didn't help either.

The last 3 links provided did not help as the first one relates to removing landmark labels from the map. The second one relates to removing the "Local Guide" pane (which is somewhat similar to the Real Estate Pane, but still does not work for my case). The final link relates to identifying the date in which an image was taken.

I'll submit my question through the first link you provided...

Hi Jason,

I apologize you were misdirected by the prior guidance. If you use the terms "Real Estate", "For Sale", "For Rent" you will trigger the real estate experience. Just typing an address should not immediately start the price bubbles to appear on the map.

Can you give me a sample of the URL/Search string you are using? Are you starting at bing.com/maps? Do you maybe have a cached query that is in real estate mode? Have you tried clearing the cache in your browser or a different browser?

Sincerely,

IoTGirl
