[quote=urbanrealtor][quote=paramount]The problem I see here is the MLS itself, which is a sales tool manipulated by realtors and other interested parties.
Maybe what we need is a new MLS type system that is less prone to manipulation and overly self-interested parties.[/quote]
You see lots of problems with lots of things.
The MLS is a lot more honest and fair of an open market tool than ebay or craigslist.
It actually allows full information about what sale prices have done in the past.
That is not something that is generally available to users in more closed or limited databases like Ebay or CL.
In what way do you see it as being manipulated?[/quote]
1. DOM/DOMP is probably the most common manipulation of the MLS.
2. Deceptive photos (you walk into a house that looks nothing like the MLS photos)
