Using Sold Data

Quality and reliable listing data is essential to stand out in today’s competitive marketplace. At IDX Broker, we display data directly from your MLS, unlike portals that rely on data from sources which may not include your MLS.

With Sold Data it’s easy to add (and keep) compelling content on your IDX Broker pages to ensure the best indexing results for your website. Sold Data ensures that your sitemap contains thousands or even tens of thousands more URLs than other agents in your area!  With your fully enhanced sitemap, you can leverage rapid updates and tell search engines when search results were last modified. By providing the most up-to-date, accurate listing data – including near real-time updates to price, status, and other listings – you’ll quickly become a trusted local resource.

Here's how to leverage Sold Data through your IDX Broker account and on your website!
 

How to Search your MLS for Sold Listings

When sold data is available, you can give your website visitors access to search for sold listings in your MLS. You do this by adding your IDX Broker Advanced Search page to your website and choosing "Sold" in the status field. You can also use your Advanced Search page to create and add IDX Broker saved links and widgets to your site. This will allow you to make hyper-local search around Sold listings in your area. 

Additionally, you may use the Polygon tool to specify an area on the map where you want to display sold listing. You just need to add the Sold status under the Results Copy & Paste String area by adding this parameter: &idxStatus=sold

When building saved links or widgets based on a custom search, you can utilize sold data to search listings from specific time frames. Check out the article here to learn more about using the custom search query to search time frames of sold data. 

 

How to Manage My Sold Listings

Your Featured Sold listings will automatically display in your IDX Broker account when Sold Data is available from the MLS. You can manage your Sold listings by going to Listings > Sold/Pending.

For Sold Data that goes further back than the feed provides (check the MLS coverage page here for how far back Sold Data is available for your MLS ) you can add prior Sold listings as Supplemental listings by going to Listings > Supplemental.
 

Sold Data Not Available in Your Area?

Unfortunately, Sold Data is not available in all areas, but even in this case we have a process to help you feature your Sold listings by archiving data after it has gone off-market. Check out the article here on how to manage your Featured Sold listings using Listings > Off-Market.
