A new listing is the biggest news in the real estate industry. Solds, contract pendings, price reductions and other updates closely follow.
Many listings never see the light of the Internet for weeks, and for that there is no excuse.
There is no reason why the real estate industry should lag behind other industries in getting timely information to the Internet. There are too many other examples of other industries that are doing it right. You can go to eBay , and put your golf clubs up for sale, and get a response within minutes. You can check the progress of your favorite stock with real-time quotes, which change every few seconds. You can read breaking news where somebody writes a story and posts it instantly to the Internet.
