The MLS.ca web site... and YOU

The MLS.ca web site is one of Canada's most popular Internet research tools for residential real estate. It is a public site, so anyone with access to a computer buyers, sellers, or the just curious can view property listings at any time.

The original MLS.ca web site was launched in 1996. The idea was a simple one to promote MLS listings on line as a convenience to Canadian consumers buying or selling a home. It started with just over 6,000 listings from only four local real estate Boards. Today it's hard to imagine the home-buying process without the mls.ca. In fact, a 2003 consumer survey indicated 85 per cent of Canadians who bought a home started the process on the Internet. The same survey reported even those not buying a home used the Internet to stay in touch with the housing market.

The web site MLS.ca is an advertising vehicle that helps REALTORS market your property to literally a worldwide market.

In 2004 alone, more than 650,000 residential listings were posted on MLS.ca, representing almost 90 per cent of all MLS properties in Canada. The listings on the web site come from the MLS database of most local real estate Boards across Canada. The listings are updated once every 24 hours with information provided by the local Boards and Associations. This information includes basic listing description, photographs, and contact information.

The MLS.ca web site is not an MLS system, and does not display all of the listing information associated with a property in the local real estate Board's database. Rather, the web site is an advertising vehicle that helps REALTORS market a property to literally a world wide market. Every month, an average of more than 1.7 million unique visitors visit the mls.ca web site. Each unique visitor, on average, visits the site three times a month and spends an average of 20 minutes per visit*.

If you're buying a property, use the MLS.ca web site as a resource, but remember your REALTOR can provide local market expertise or market conditions, along with the additional data available from the MLS database of the local real estate Board.

If you're selling, ask your REALTOR about the marketing opportunities available by posting your property on the mls.ca web site.
