A reader recently emailed and asked: “Hi, I was wondering if your web page ‘New Houses In Sacramento’ is up to date since I saw them pretty much the same for more than a month.”

OK, busted.  Actually those of you who’ve been reading the blog probably know the answer to this question because periodically I talk about it, but there are actually two sources of listings on this web site.  If you go to the search page, you’re going to have access to listings that are updated once each day, so it’s almost as current as what we Realtors have access to in the MLS.

If you look at some of the other pages where we just have page after page of listings, such as the new homes pages, the condo pages, or the foreclosure pages, you’re looking at listings that are also from the Metrolist MLS, but that are updated manually, so they sometimes get a bit stale.

One thing I would take issue with this reader on length of time involved in this particular case, which has “only” been two weeks.  Yes, I realize, in Internet dog-year time that’s “more than a month” — it’s practically an eternity. 

Time for me to do another round of updating, it looks like.
