RMLS™ has partnered with Realtors Property Resource® (RPR) and starting September 25th, RMLS™ listing data will be available on RPR to RMLS™ subscribers. RMLS™ subscribers will have access to hundreds of datasets on over 150 million properties across the country through RPR at no additional cost. These reports include:

• Tax assessments
• Notices of default (NODs)
• The largest database of foreclosure and pre-foreclosures in the country
• Mortgage and history data
• Value estimates, refinements, and comp analysis
• Neighborhood and demographic information
• FEMA flood maps
• School zoning and information

On RMLSweb subscribers will be able to quickly access a listing on RPR using the button on the search results screen or at the bottom of an Agent Full report:

RMLS™ and RPR have also integrated ZIP code statistics at the bottom of the Agent Full report on RMLSweb (below). Click the green button (above) that says “[+] RPR Statistics by Zip” to view these statistics, which are based upon the listing’s ZIP code, county, and state.

Additional features and reports will be available by logging in to the RPR website.

RMLS™ subscribers don’t need to take action to register: RPR will be pre-registering our subscribers using their NRDS ID in order to simplify access. Once RPR has created each user’s account (starting September 24th) RPR will send an email to the subscriber.

RPR training sessions will be available for subscribers during the week of September 30th, held at multiple locations across the RMLS™ region (Portland, Vancouver, Tigard, Gresham, Eugene, and Roseburg). Register for an informative RPR training session here.

Watch for an email from RPR with user information starting September 25th!

If you have any questions about your RPR account or the RPR website, please visit the RPR Help Desk or call (877) 977-7576.

The RMLS™ Inventory Today chart on the desktop of RMLSweb showed that total sales volume for a twelve month period topped $12 billion on July 16^th this year. The last time the sales volume was at that level was almost five years ago on September 8, 2008, with volume still on its way down to its low point reached in 2011.

While prices are currently increasing rapidly, they still have a way to go to reach their previous levels. The $12 billion volume in 2008 required only 39,456 sales at an average price of $304,443. The number of sales represented by the $12 billion this year was 46,901 with an average price of $255,942.

The housing market recovery has encompassed all of the RMLS™ market areas in Oregon and southern Washington to varying degrees, which the monthly Market Action reports demonstrate. Momentum is accelerating!
