The teams from Yahoo!, Zillow and Trulia got together recently to hammer out the details for the new real estate listings data standard.
Especially in today’s housing slump, real estate brokers are looking to online players to help market their listings. The problem is that each site has its own data format. So it makes a lot of sense for three of the leading players to help create one way to move the data around. This should be a huge win for developers in the real estate space.
In this video, Yahoo! Real Estate’s Steve Schultz interviews a number of the participants to learn more about the motivations behind and details surrounding the effort.

Hi to alls
It is a good post and really like it because standerd realestate is very good point in realestate business.
I’ve been in the real estate business for 30 years and this is great news for our profession……..I will be interested to see the outcome of this project.
Working in the real estate industry many of us have been looking for a standard for listings for some time now. The MLS works well for selling homes, craigslist works well for other areas, but there is no standard, and listing office space for lease is something my company would be happy to see a standard for.
Thank you for sharing the video. I’m curious to see what the outcome of the project will be. I’m sure many in the real estate industry will be excited to find out.
