California MLS
The California Association of Realtors (CAR) is considering plans for the future of multiple listing services and their content.
The group has approved an engineering project that will map out data fields from MLSs throughout the state -- a project that could serve as the backbone for a statewide MLS database or a consolidated statewide MLS.
There are currently about 70 MLSs in operation in the state, and some agents and brokers join multiple MLSs -- which means paying multiple fees and complying with multiple sets of rules. Brokers who work in multiple markets don't like this.
The state Realtor group plans to study regional MLS data-sharing and consolidation efforts that are already in progress in the state. Meanwhile, the National Association of Realtors is studying the creation of national data repository that could form the basis for a nationwide MLS.
