"The listing displays are still powered by HouseCanary's ComeHome.com platform. However, in the California test markets, listings are provided directly from California Regional MLS (CRMLS) while listings nationwide brokered by an agent affiliated with an eXp World Holdings' brand, are being provided directly by eXp. A spokesperson for HouseCanary confirmed to HousingWire that this is just a continuation of the pilot program the company launched with Google late last year."
"eXp Realty CEO Leo Pareja told HousingWire that the integration is an expansion of his firm's previously announced syndication agreement with ComeHome.com to premarket the firm's coming soon listings. "As soon as we worked out the coming soon listings, we pivoted to make sure they had all of our listings," Pareja said. Pareja added that they eventually hope to see this pilot program go nationwide."
""I believe Gemini is going to be one of the winners of the LLM race and making sure our data is on Google seems like the responsible thing for visibility and transparency," Pareja said. "While other companies are focused on exclusivity and walled gardens, we are focused on transparency and maximum exposure for our clients.""
"As real estate listing portals, including Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com, have begun launching application integrations within LLMs like OpenAI's ChatGPT, many in the housing industry have questioned if this usage falls within MLS data usage and IDX feed rules. In turn, this has opened a discussion surrounding both the modernization of MLS rules and listing data control."
HouseCanary’s listing displays continue to use the ComeHome.com platform. In California test markets, listings are provided directly from California Regional MLS (CRMLS). Listings nationwide that are brokered by agents affiliated with an eXp World Holdings brand are provided directly by eXp. HouseCanary confirmed the change is a continuation of a pilot program launched with Google late last year. eXp Realty CEO Leo Pareja said the integration expands a syndication agreement with ComeHome.com to premarket coming soon listings. He said the firm pivoted to ensure the listings included all of its inventory and aims to expand the pilot nationwide. Pareja linked the approach to visibility, transparency, and maximum client exposure. Industry concerns have emerged about whether LLM integrations comply with MLS data usage and IDX feed rules, alongside calls to modernize MLS rules and listing data control.
