A Technology Side Note

The Houston Association of Realtors plans to upload MLS data onto Google Base for all homes for sale.

Some are predicting that by the end of the decade at least 80 percent of home listings across the country will be available on Google or some other searchable Web site. Source: MSNBC

A side note: Technology will simply allow inventory to be more accessible to consumers using the Internet.

With this news and Zillow's move into property listings - more brokers will start sending listings to search sites such as Google Base or Zillow. For that reason - I've added Google.Base to the TourSheet Blog 'index' page for Consumer Links.
