Mar. 17, 2009 - MLS Public Web Sites: 2009 Short Survey Response

I have an MLS client who wanted to get the 'lay of the land' when it came to MLS public sites. I called over 50 MLSs with public sites and asked a few questions of interest to my client - perhaps you will find the answers of interest as well:
 
Do you display sold/off market listings on your public site(s)? 
NO- 29        YES- 10        Considering- 13
 
Do you allow your brokers to display sold/off market listings on their sites?  
NO-17        YES- 21        Considering- 14
 
Do you display property address on your public facing web sites and online partner sites?
NO-4        YES- 36         Opt Out- 14

Visiting 94 public web sites, I found that 93% displayed street address and 95% of those displaying addresses also displayed a map to the  listing.

You're welcome Victor. It's certainly interesting to watch the 'MLS Public Web Site' sea change occur.
