New Statistics Report on FlexMLS Searches

New Search Statistics Report on Flexmls

On March 12th, a new report, Search Statics, will display statistical data for all the listings in a current search, regardless of status, price, or other data fields.

To access the Search Statistics report, go to the Compare tab from any search results screen and click the Search Statistics link. If your MLS does not use the Compare tab, the Search Statistics report will not be available.
 


Listings by Status
The Listings by Status section displays the number of listings in the search and breaks the number down by status. Active, Pending and Sold are shown with other statuses being combined in the "Other" section. To print the entire report, click the Print button in the report's upper right corner.



Average, Median, Low and High Statistics
The Average, Median, Low and High Statistics section displays statistics for a number of fields such as bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, list price and sold price. It also includes some calculated statistics such as the Sold Price to List Price Ratio. The bottom row in the table shows the number of listings that have relevant data for that column. For example, an MLS may not require square footage data, and some of the listings in the search results may not have it. Those listings wouldn’t be included in the statistics, and the number in the bottom row helps clarify this.



Days on Market and Sold/List Ratios by Market Time
The Days on Market section shows price ratios broken down by days on market. The Number of Listings row shows the number of listings in the current search broken down by Market Time segments (0-30 days, 31-60 days, etc.). The % of Total row shows the percentage of listings in the current search broken down by by each Market Time segment. The Average SP/LP row shows the average Sold to List Price ratio for each segment. And the Average SP/OLP shows the average Sold to Original List Price ratio for each segment.

Syndicating to Zillow.com and Trulia.com

In our last announcement, we discussed that both Zillow and Trulia will no longer be receiving listing information and photos via ListHub. Recognizing that many of our members utilize both of these customer portals, RealtyWEB.Net has contracted with both websites to allow broker's to continue to send listings via FlexMLS. Click here for Frequently Asked Questions.

The decision to syndicate to both or either of these portals is still yours, the broker.

The option to syndicate to Zillow/Trulia is now available and can be found in Flexmls under Preferences>Syndication.

The default is off so if you do not want to syndicate to either of these customer portals, no action is needed.

If you would like to send your company/office listings to Zillow.com and/or Trulia.com,

If you are currently syndicating to either or both of these sites, MLS staff has made every effort to update your Syndication Preferences for you but we urge you to verify the selection.

If you are part of a multiple office corporation, please check with your corporate office before making any changes.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact us at (904) 394-9494 x 1605.

Syndicating to Zillow and Trulia

Syndicating to Zillow.com & Trulia.com

By Gonzalo Mejia, 2015 NEFMLS President

As you know, there are a many changes taking place within the customer portals or national listing display marketplace.  First, Zillow.com will no longer be accepting listing data via ListHub, which is the product RealtyWEB.Net MLS uses to allow you to send your listings to the various national websites, effective April 7^th.

And now that Zillow.com has acquired Trulia.com, Trulia will no longer be receiving listing data from ListHub either.

Recognizing that many of our members utilize both of these consumer portals, RealtyWEB.Net MLS has successfully negotiated an agreement to provide listing data for display on Zillow.com on behalf of our members.

This agreement also includes the following features for all our members who choose to send their listings to Zillow and Trulia:

• The broker maintains complete control over the decision to send listings to Zillow.Com/Trulia.com.  This will be accomplished direct from your Flexmls login.  Click here for details.
• RealtyWEB.Net MLS staff will make every effort possible to ensure there will be no interruption in your services/listing data if are you currently syndicating to Zillow.com/Trulia.com.  However, please be sure to watch for notifications.
• All RealtyWEB.Net MLS listing agents will be prominently displayed on all of their listings.
• RealtyWEB.Net listing brokers receive attribution, branding, and a link back directly to your websites.
• Listing Brokers will have access to daily analytic reports.
• Better leads – listing data will be more accurate and up to date.
• Access to the Zillow Data Dashboard, a free listing management and reporting platform for more control over your listings.

For now, you will continue managing all other consumer portals from your ListHub account.  Currently, only Zillow.com and Trulia.com will be managed direct from Flexmls.

As stated in last week’s press release, "Zillow is providing a service to a significant portion of our members," said Ron Stephan, CEO of NEFMLS, in a statement. "A direct relationship will improve the quality of our listings data and ensure the timeliness that is crucial to real estate, especially in terms of price and status updates."

If you have questions, please contact RealtyWEB.Net Tech Support at (904) 394-9494 x 1605, also again, click here for details on how you set your preferences in Flexmls.  We will be sure to keep you updated when this option will actually be released.
