Mobile MLS® Search
A recent Internet Trends presentation by Morgan Stanley forecasted that “50% of web traffic will come through mobile devices within 5 years.” In fact, based on the rate of adoption, it is projected that the number of users accessing the web via mobile devices will exceed desktop devices by 2014. What does that mean to you? It means that arguably your mobile website will be more important than your normal website within the next 2 years.
As of today, all RealtyNinja website customers (that are part of the MLS® Reciprocity Program) now have a mobile-specific MLS® Search on their mobile websites.
If you didn’t know already, all of our customers get a dedicated mobile website, on top of their regular website, for absolutely no extra charge. The website automatically detects what device the user is browsing on and shows them a dedicated mobile version if they’re on a smart phone or tablet.
Version 2 will include location based searching that will take advantage of your devices GPS capabilities.
Great New Improvements
We made the algorithm use to assign active listings to buildings more intelligent to deal with common street typos and duplicates among other such things. This results in a more accurate listing of available properties in buildings you have added or will add to your website.
Continuing on our quest to provide the most accurate geocoding of listing addresses to physical locations for mapping – we improved our algorithm and re-geocoeded all of the listings in our database
Co-Listing support has finally been added to our system which saves you even more time and allows you to rest assured that all your listings are on your site automatically. To accomplish this, we had to re-approach how listings are added to our system and make sure that we include listings where you are LIST REALTOR 1, 2 or 3.
