OCR thanks so much for finding that out. This really helps to explain things.
Okay so now lets do a bit more analysis.
From the MLS –
Detached/Attached Homes – 19714
Land Parcels – 1851
Multi-Unit – 1027
Mobile – 668
Total – 23,260

I think this goes a long way to providing an explanation to the differences as opposed to some conspiracy. Again, (for the 3rd time) sdr and Jim had indeed posted about odd events they saw on the MLS a few months back (listings not getting counted or dropping off somehow) but I think that may have been problems with the database, not a planned out effort to hide things.

OCR I am not doubting what you saw in the OC with the Prudential listings that were not found on zip. As far as I know, there is not any way for Sandicor listings that are on the MLS down here to be shielded or removed from selected 3rd party sites. As a HUGE DISCLAIMER though, it may very well be possible as I am but a scrubbie when it comes to this stuff.

As far as inventory numbers go, you guys know better then I but I thought in 06 we peaked out at about 23k detached/attached listings on the Sandicor MLS. Perhaps I am mistaken.
