How to widen your Marketplace search
There are three ways to see more of Marketplace. Here’s when to use each.
1. Turn up the radius
Open the location filter in Marketplace and choose a larger radius. The options run from 1 to 500: miles in the US, kilometres in Canada. It’s the quickest fix, but a single huge circle still centres on you, so results lean towards nearby listings.
2. Move your search location
Type another city into the location filter. This is good when you know exactly where to look, like a bigger city an hour away.
3. Tile the area with several searches
For a whole state or region, several overlapping searches centred on different cities show each area’s own listings. That’s what MarketplaceWide automates. Choose a city, state, region or country and it picks the fewest searches to cover it.
