Today, we want to discuss the important topic of recent changes to Internet portals.
Back in January, it was announced that ListHub, which is owned by a company called Move Inc., would be terminating their contract with Zillow and Trulia. This is interesting because all of Zillow and Trulia's Internet data came from ListHub, a third-party data exchange. Without ListHub, Zillow and Trulia would be unable to receive any information from the Multiple Listing Service.
After ListHub terminated the contract, all of our active listing were deleted from Zillow and Trulia. This happened in early April, and it was determined that between 300,000 and 500,000 listings were missing from those sites on April 7. As a result, Zillow and Trulia were scrambling to get feeds from the MLS, but it hasn't yet happened all over the country.
As an agent, it is now our
responsibility to upload each listing manually to Zillow and Trulia. This is a labor-intensive process, as Trulia makes you upload photos for each listing separately, which is very time consuming. If you're a buyer who is looking online, you need to be aware that these sites are even more outdated and inaccurate than before! Some listings won't show up in buyer's searches, so you need to reach out to a real estate professional to get the best results.
If you have any questions about accomplishing your real estate goals, give us a call or shoot us an email. Our expertise is at your disposal, and we would love to hear from you!
