You insist on specificity in one place, and you reject it in another place.
Your requirements aren't consistent.
Hotpads is pretty great. It has a lasso tool, and a more powerful price selection tool (the text fields). I suggest giving it another look. If it isn't quite up to par, Hotpads would be quicker in delivering what you want than a newcomer. I don't buy that Hotpads just doesn't get it.
I cannot be consistent with apples to oranges. If I required a specificity of 10 feet in my region selection, what then would be the "consistent" specificity of the rent slider? $1, $10, $100?
Yeah, I think your specs are pretty good, and there's no universal level of specificity, just what makes sense where. I wrote PadMapper - is there anything you'd like to see improved? Noted on the polygons.
Nothing says you need to pick a single amount of specificity and then apply it everywhere. Sounds to me like he cares more about precisely where he lives than precisely what he pays, which is pretty sensible.

Also, inconsistent requirements != inconsistent UI.
