Not sure if this holds true for san diego but I found your data to be flawed for temecula. You have all the zip codes to choose from but when I searched for example 92592, I only got 41 properties, that’s missing something. Redfin gives you the shorts, the pendings, the recently closed. I can map it, choose an area within a zip code, uch more helpful for actual searching. Are you listings leaving out discount listings that only pay the selling agent a fraction of a commission? When I was actively shopping I could get public access to the mrmls and I could also get to it through some realtors websites, it was helpful but I abandonded it because redfin is easier to use.
Plus for my example of 92592 on redfin, I got 715 total listings. Of that 371 were active, 344 pending. Of the actives, 212 were shorts. Of the pendings 131 were shorts.
From all of that I can learn things, find things, the bargains are usually in those listing, especially if sites like yours are missing them. How you came up 41 total is a bit confusing but had I gone to it by chance or based on an advertisement, After a few minutes of seeing how minimal it is, I’d never go back.
Sorry, just being honest.
The mls is out of the bag nowadays, it’s no longer a secret and realtors are needed for transactions and negotions, not selecting. Either show them everything or they will go elsewhere. Today’s R/E consumer wants to shop at a grocery store or a costco, not a 7-11. Minimal selection will only get those looking for convenience, the rest of us want to see it all. Maybe you have a data problem, maybe you are not focussed on my area so the data is unchecked. But if you are filtering shorts, repos, discount fee listings and other less profitable properties, then you need to change that. Even then, I found the website not as user friendly as redfin.
