Sold Data

Dustin on 05 16, 2006

Interestingly, the NWMLS is now allowing agents to list sold data on real estate websites.

Along these lines, Shelley Rossi, the Director of Public Relations for John L. Scott, emailed to let me know that John L. Scott added a comparable market analysis tool to their home search Robbie discussed last week

There are two ways to access comparable sold property information on JohnLScott.com. The first is by address, which can be refined by entering property characteristics, such as square footage, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc., and the system will identify the ten closest “sold homes” that have characteristics meeting the specified criteria. The second is a radius search around a home that is currently for sale. From the property detail page of an active listing, visitors can click a link to see the ten closest “sold homes” that are similar to the property they are viewing.

I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised that the NWMLS would be the first MLS to open up this type of data to agent websites since the agents here in Seattle are a lot closer to the fire than agents in other parts of the country.

  2. It is quite cool. I think that there will be more MLS systems following along with this.

    I like the idea of the tool. The more the customer finds out for himself before buying or selling, the more he believes you when you mention price and start showing him comparables.
