SWEET DIGS RE-LAUNCHED
By Anthony Longo 12 06 2007Online real estate broker Redfin Corporation today relaunched its popular Sweet Digs blog with a new analytical format designed to give consumers insights on prices, inventory levels, bargains and open houses in San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Seattle neighborhoods. Redfin plans to launch Sweet Digs for Southern.
California and Boston later this summer.
The new format is the result of a ruling from the Northwest Multiple Listing Service (NWMLS), a broker-owned database of Seattle-area listings, which closed Sweet Digs on May 15; the NWMLS ruled that Sweet Digs’ in-person property reviews violated rules against advertising another broker’s listing.
According to a Redfin survey of more than 300 Sweet Digs subscribers on what data would be “very interesting,” 63 percent chose price reductions, 62 percent past sales, 61 percent inventory levels; in the same survey, 61 percent said the open house reviews were “very interesting.” Continued on Press Release of visit Redfin Corp Blog

Anthony,
Just wanted to stop by real quick and say hello. I’m a Realtor in Virginia Beach and I am aggressively following the BuySideRealty, Redfin, CatalistHomes online real estate model. However, this slipped through my fingertips…so I thank you for the post! What do you think the outcome will be with the FTC starting to stare NAR straight in the face and cracking down on many of these local MLS systems that are trying to monopolize these issues?
