Ten Thousand Words

Our MLS here in Boise and the Treasure Valley has finally allowed agents and brokerages to include 10 photos with every property listing (yes, we immediately updated our listings). Previously, we were only allowed to post 5 photos on our MLS listings (and even then, many agents didn’t take advantage). Everywhere else we advertise online (Craigslist, Edgeio, Google Base, Vast, Oodle, Trulia, Propsmart, Localism) we are able to provide buyers with almost unlimited photos. So why are we just now, in May of 2007, able to list 10, and only 10, photos on our local MLS?

I am concerned that this lack of speed in adapting to the internet buyer is going to be the end of local MLSs.
