“Guide to Listings Submission” Technical Spec

xml is Excel spreadsheet format.

The fields list is all you need. Copy the field list across the top row in a new Excel page. Then fill in the details underneath, for your your property. It will include items like real estate type (house, condo etc), for sale or rental, address, various description fields, and things such as DisloseAddress, which you fill with Yes if you want it done and No if you don’t want it. Any that don’t apply to your ad, just leave blank.

This lets you submit numerous properties on one XML sheet, one property per row on the sheet.

If you could come back here and put the link for the page that directs you to that PDF, I could look it up for you and give you better details.
=======

I see what you mean.

Address type the address.

Other items where it days "decimal" just type numbers eg 56000.00 or 3.5, no commas or dollar signs.

"String" means words, eg name of provider (you) or builder.

for "Enumeration" they’ve listed all the choices you have. I get the impression you need to put these into quotes, the way they have them shown.

Woops, further down (purchase, lease, rent etc) they DON’T have them in quotes. Try them each way.

I suggest you copy only the compulsory fields to your spreadsheet, and submit ONE sample, with one item in quotes and one not. See which one comes out and then stick with that style for the rest.

listingsKey and ListingKey are confusingly NOT THE SAME. The top one is a code you invent eg "julylisting1" for the whole ad; the second is another one you invent for this particular property only, eg "wiscCondo".

"integer" means a number, eg 500 (square feet).

Anywhere that says "Boolean" means yes/no. They don’t specify whether to write Yes/no, so it might be better to use computer boolean, which is 1 for yes and 0 for no.

Where they ask for URLs, eg for images, put the images into Flickr and give the URL for that page.

Once you’ve worked out your test submission, also add in the next page of non-compulsory items, as some of them would be of good value to potential buyers.

Section 6 – Data Transmission tells you the address to upload your file to. I suggest you name your files with some initials, such as your company initials, and the date, eg MRL20100705.xml.

WOW they expect a lot of computer expertise from real estate experts. I hope this helps you get started.

Austin Real Estate Agent Warns That $8000 Tax Credit is Set to Expire.

Austin real estate broker and author Kenn Renner reminds first time homebuyers that the $8000 federal tax credit will expire November 30th, 2009. In February 2009, President Obama signed into law the American Recover and Reinvestment Act of 2009. One of the key components of the act was the $8000 First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. Basically, a gift from the federal government to be allocated to qualified first time homebuyers. The act has been received favorably by consumers, real estate professionals, and homebuilders. The National Association of Realtors recently reported that 53% of todays homebuyers are first timers. Experts give credit, in part, to the $8000 tax credit. Low interest rates and low prices have also played a big part in the home buying activity.

Buying a first home at the right time is always a good move, comments Kenn Renner, real estate expert with Keller Williams Realty. Homebuyers just need to realize that the tax gift is going away and that now is the time to take action, he added.

Just as the cash for clunkers program recently expired, the first time homebuyers tax credit is set to expire. The deadline is Monday, November 30th. This day is the Monday after the Thanksgiving Day Holidays. Title companies, escrow companies, and mortgage companies have been alerting the real estate community and their clientele to not wait until the last minute to close on a home as they will be overwhelmed with home buyers trying to beat the deadline.

I have heard some title companies mention they will need purchase contracts in by late October to ensure they have plenty of time to meet the deadline, Kenn explains. There is no grace period there is talk that the government may continue the program, but right now we cannot assume any date except the current deadline that is stated in the law.

In Austin, as in other cities, this has created a flurry of activity, even creating a sellers market in many markets in the first time homebuyer price range. Well priced properties in good areas under $200,000 are flying off the shelf, mentions Kenn. At this point, I have been encouraging home renters to consider purchasing the home they are currently renting. This has been a good strategy for all involved. Often times, the landlords are ready to sell and the buyers can get the $8000 credit and not have to move its a win-win!

Down payment assistance programs are being offered by many government agencies including county and state bond programs. Many programs are now available to first timers that combine the $8000 tax credit along with zero down and those with lower credit scores. This is a perfect opportunity to buy your first home with the help of government assistance.
