Boundary Types
Perchwell supports both inclusion and exclusion shapes to refine your search area:
Inclusion Polygon: Draw a custom shape; listings inside are included
Inclusion Circle: Click to set a center point and drag to adjust the radius, or enter a radius value; listings inside are included
Exclusion Polygon: Draw a shape; listings inside are removed
Exclusion Circle: Click to set a center point and drag to adjust the radius, or enter a radius value; listings inside are removed
💡 Use an Inclusion shape to target a neighborhood and Exclusion shapes to remove nearby areas that do not fit your client’s criteria.
Tips:
Boundaries work alongside all other filters such as price, beds, and status.
You can create multiple inclusion and exclusion shapes in the same search.
Boundaries can be edited, cleared, or redrawn at any time.
Centering the map before drawing improves precision.
