No MLS Syndication for NEFAR

After inquiring on behalf of a customer, Real Estate Webmasters has learned that the Northeast Florida Association of Realtors is currently in the planning stage of, but does not have a working solution for, syndicating their listing data through an RSS feed.

For those not familiar with RSS and syndication, any website that features the RSS acronym or the RSS logo supports the syndication of their content. This is usually for the purpose of informing people that their website is updating and often carries a snippet of information about the updated content. Some feeds carry more information than others. A content reader or aggregate website will pick up this information when it is updated and let you see only the content that has been updated.

The implications for MLS listings and IDX is that this technology could allow people with custom IDX's to take their listing display one step further. By keeping consumers up to date on the latest changes to the active listings, and by adding specific feeds for price ranges and geographical areas, consumers can quickly and easily shop for real estate that meets their needs.

If you have any questions about this, IDX, or anything else internet and real estate-based, please contact us.
