There are only four required fields needed to run a search; they are positioned at the top of the search page:
-
MLS
-
Property Type
-
Target Price Range
-
Area
The Advanced Options are additional filters that can be used to narrow the search parameters to more closely align with the subject property.
 MLS Identifier
The name of your MLS will be displayed here. If multiple MLSs are associated with your account, a drop down menu will display all of your MLS options. See MLS Information under My Account for more information on adding MLSs and changing the order in which they are listed.
| |
 Property Types
The main categories of Property Types available in the MLS are shown. Select one of the property types to see the applicable sub-types. You may select as many sub-types as you wish, but only one main property type may be selected.
| |
 Target Price Range
The goal here is to choose a price range in which you believe the subject property would align with other properties that have the same attributes.
-
Enter the minimum dollar amount (in thousands) for the range in the Minimum $ field.
-
Select the appropriate range from the Increment Range picklist.
-
This value will be added to the Minimum $ value you entered to arrive at the Maximum $.

 Areas
The drop down menu displays the types of geographic areas that are available:
| |
 Browse List
Click the Browse List link to view all the locations within an area type.
The list will be sorted on the Count column (the number of sold properties in each location during the past 12 months). To see the list in alphabetical order by name, click on the Area Name column header. Click on a column header again to sort the list in the reverse order.
| |
 Find By Name
Find By Name is a "begins with" search.
After an Area Type is selected, the Find By Name field will be activated.
Type in the first few letters of the name of the location (associated with the selected geographic area type).
The system will display a list of options matching the letters you entered.
If you can't find a match, try a different spelling or enter fewer letters. To narrow your options, type in more letters.
| |
 Selected Locations Display Area
Locations selected using the Find by Name and/or the Browse List methods will be shown in the display area.
The number of sold records reported in the last twelve months is shown in parentheses following the location name.
 Click on the trash can icon to remove the location.
