Fast wasn't fast enough. NEW SERVERS!

So our ultra fast FranklyMLS.com wasn't fast enough. Especially when searching 4 years of sold data by keyword.

So we just launched the new servers that are wicked fast.

Hope you notice.

Now with Crime Data!

I got a chat request today, and the idea was so good that I personally
implemented it in under 7 minutes.

You could do an ab session in that amount if time.

I added a small "c" next to the property address In the full view fr
each property. It will then launch a search for that Zipcode on a
Crime Reoorts website. I can instead have it point to the exact
address, but let's try this first.

Thoughts?

Now with 1 page Print View

I got feedback that printing any particular listing would result in 3
pages.

So we now have a 1 Page Print button.

What do you think? I also want to allow people to pick several
favoites to print all at once (and maybe the map too)

Bath search is now up.

Ok, you can now search by total baths.

3ba searches listings with 3 total baths (3 full or 2 full+1 half etc)
4ba searches listings with 4 total baths (4 full or 2 full+2 half or 3 full+1 half etc)
(4ba,3ba) searches listings with Total 3 or Total 4 baths
( 4ba , 3ba ) is fine (spacing does not matter)

Also I had the heart symbol ♥ removed in the spreadsheet mode if the home is already listed.

Does anybody want a symbol for new listings AND listings that have dropped their price over 1% in the last 7 days (over 1%, to stop those that drop $100 to send out alerts)

Lot Search Size is here!

Created after popular demand, we now have lot search. The only bad news is it can't be used at the same time as the year built search.

Here is the cryptic FranklyMLS style format:

EXACT SEARCH

[lot2] (searches listings with lot=2 acres exactly)

LOT RANGE SEARCH

[lot.6-20] (.6 or 0.6 are equivalent)
[ lot 0.6-0.9 ] (spaces do not matter)

COMBINE KEYWORDS

MD [lot.5-10] Rockville

Enjoy

Email alerts link to Cell Mode

The email alerts will now have a "click for cell mode" so you can see the listing in the faster cell mode.

This was a suggestion from an iphone user. So thank you.

Search by Year Built

Nothing too sexy with this updated feature. I actually had it created 6 months ago, but forgot to tell anybody.

Now search by Year Built.

Use this syntax in your search: Arlington [Built2000-2009]

I know maybe one day I should make the site look like all the other sites with pretty drop downs, but isn't it more fun this way?

Next up, search by lot size and bathroom.

Sold Data on the Listing Agent, A Better Breakdown.

Just a minor tweak, but a necessary step toward compiling better statistics.

Now when you are looking at a listing's full view, you wil see this next to the listing agent's name:

(See Actives & UC / Solds: Lister / Buyer / Both)

As always it will show you the agent's active litings and listings under contract.

The old way showed you all the deals the agent closed (now called "Both"), regardless of whether they were the buyer agent or the listing agent. That didn't help much if you were trying to look for selling patterns.

So, now you can see the breakdown seperately. So just review the agent's sold listings, or just deals where they were the buyer agent (including dual agency deals) and "Both" will show all the listings and purchases together.

Next up, the sold columns will show you the averages for sold prices and % off original list. So in a quick snapshot you can see how the agent has done vs their initial asking prie. However, don't be silly and rely too much on this information. While it might show an agent is an Overpricer, it might show that an agent that UNDERPRICES is getting a high % of list. Don't mistake that to mean they are a "better" agent.

Frank

p.s. Agents, you really should be using this to get a quick snapshot of "who is this agent, what do they tend to sell and what is their style". See FranklyCRA.com and make sure to email me for you free branded MLS IDX.

"f" for Foreclosure

If you see a funky "f" symbol next to the price for a listing in
spreadsheet mode, that is likely a foreclosure, REO, or Bank listing.

First of all, the listings are flagged with an "f" if the listing
agent checked the box for "bank owned" or "foreclosure".

However, as many of you know, sometimes bank listing agents are lazy.
So they just skip the checkboxes and put it in the remarks like this
"Hurry for this Bank Owned" listing.

So just like the short sales which get an *, we scrub the remarks
looking for the words: foreclosure or bank owned or REO. And then we
go a step further and remove the "f" if it says "not an REO".

While not 100% perfect, it is close enough and gives you a split
second guide to bank deals. That is the point of FranklyMLS, speed!

Please let me know if you find a listing that has an "f" when it
shouldn't, any any other feedback on this.

Sorry it took so long, I should have doe this last year, but I was
looking for bank deals for a client and I thought "geez this is stupid
that we don't distinguish these."

Thanks

Easier to view the # of viewings and # of saved.

Now we put on the top right side of the listing how many people have viewed a listing and how many have saved it. For example:

As of this moment
http://franklymls.com/CV7136184
says: Saved by 8 Users. Viewed by 37. (22%)

Also with the %. Hopefully in the future we can use this data to see if there is a correlation between the list price and the sold price for homes that are saved by a high % of people. Won't that be fun?
