I received an informative email on Friday from ListHub, our real estate listing syndication partner. In the email they comment on some changes we can expect to see on Yahoo Real Estate. The changes are all due to the Yahoo Real Estate/Zillow partnership.
In the first part of February Yahoo will be converting their real estate search over to a Zillow powered search tool. In preparation for this move, at some point in the near future Yahoo will quit updating the listings that are currently displayed on their site.
I share this with you because in the event you have a price change, new listing on the market, change of status or any other important change within flexmls – your seller might be calling. If they don’t see the changes reflected on yahoo real estate, please tell them not to worry Yahoo is in conversion mode and will be back up with current information mid-February.
Here’s a list of other web sites John Hall & Associates’s listings are displayed (PDF).
Thanks for the advice this could have been a big problem with some of my customers.
