The problem is your parameters and the database, I have the same trouble when I update the three car garage monitor. Since half of the inventory is bank owned and they have never been near the house their mls entries are all goofed up. The error rates make the Florida registrar of voters look like rocket scientists. I’d say 20% of all listings are inaccurate. I took just one data category, you listed 254 Temecula SFR’s 200-300, but I found more than 300. I ran them by zip and didn’t pick SFR, then extracted out the condos. When I do the garages, it’s a disaster, if the bank REO dept sees a two car garage in the picture they list it as a two car, not thinking about tandems. Some clearly have three garage doors but they list them as 2 car, how that is possible boggles the mind. One house that I was looking at seriously and toured the inside has been listed with three different out of town agents over the last nine months, the bank changes agents every 90 days (since it must be the agent and not the price). Each time the listing changes, the bedroom count changes. I’ve been in it, there are six bedrooms but the first agent said 4, the second said 5 and now they say four again. The problem is nobody has ever been there and I can only assume they are idiots because the tax roll says 6 and visually there have been no interior modifications, it has always had six. I’ve given up on using mls parameter filters and just go with wider searches. They consistently screw up the zip code, list sfr’s as condos, garages are wrong, the development is wrong about 1/3 of the time. There are houses listed in the mls that have sold and the new people are living there while there are houses that don’t get entered or you will never see because they listed the wrong zip. Some of the problem is because of the newer developments not being in databases and the streets not in certain mapping or gis programs but the largest culprit is idiot agents and data entry people at the mls itself (I can only imagine they are overworked at the moment), just read all the typos in the narrative and you’ll realize walmart is missing a cashier.
