Regional real estate MLS?

June 28, 2007 · Filed Under Real Estate News 

The Inman News Blog is reporting talks in California of creating a state-wide MLS to supplement (maybe replace?) local MLSs.

The idea makes sense and something I was just talking with Rob Lusk about today.  A regional or state MLS would be better for the public and better for agents.  As it stands now if I want to sell a house in Floyd County, I could list it in either the New River Valley or Roanoke Valley MLS (or both).  I think the real estate multiple listing service is headed down the road of change.  Between the class action lawsuits and new websites like Trulia and Homethinking it is bound to happen, and for the good I think.

    I think your right! MLSs are a pain, but I don’t think they will go down without a fight. I think instead of consolidation they should try some standardization so the data can be interchanged more easily.
