I have been reading a lot of blogs, the news, researching what is going on with Trulia, Zillow, Frontdoor and goodness knows how many other sites there are out there. I searched here on Active Rain as well. From what I can gather each of these companies are making deals for listing feeds from different sources. Prudential's deal with Yahoo is ending and they will team up with Trulia. Company B is with Zillow, Company C is with Frontdoor.
Do I understand this correctly? If so does this mean that the consumer must go site to site to pick up all of the listings that might be for them? So what is the advantage over going to Realtor.com or going to RE/MAX.com where you can get all of the listings? Is the heat maps? Can't be the incorrect valuations? Am I missing something that the traffic on these sites is growing? Why? Doesn't the public understand that none of these sites have a complete inventory?
Any insight into some of this would be greatly appreciated.
