Expanded coverage area of our new MLS


Expanded coverage area of our new MLS
By Scott Rogers • May 15, 2015
I thought I'd give you some sense of the geographic significance of our new, expanded MLS. The red area on the map above (Harrisonburg and Rockingham County) were the primary areas served by our old MLS. There were certainly some properties in other counties (Augusta, Shenandoah, Page) that were entered into the HRAR MLS, but the majority were in Harrisonburg and Rockingham County. The green area on the map above shows the primary areas served by our new MLS . This new MLS is the result of merger of the Harrisonburg/Rockingham MLS, Staunton/Augusta MLS and Charlottesville MLS. As you can see, it is quite a bit of a larger coverage area. Of note -- there are certainly some properties in other counties (in gray) that are in our new MLS, such as Page, Shenandoah, Madison, Orange, Rockbridge and Buckingham Counties. Two practical implications to be aware of.... I can now search for properties for you in a much larger area -- though do bear in mind that my main area of expertise is in Rockingham County, so if you are looking to buy or sell in the green area above, I may refer you to one of my colleagues who is more qualified to represent you in those areas. All of the data in my monthly market reports is SLIGHTLY different now. In the past, all of the analysis that I compiled for Harrisonburg/Rockingham home sales was coming out of the Harrisonburg/Rockingham MLS -- which would have missed any Harrisonburg/Rockingham home sales that were reported in the Staunton/Augusta MLS (for example). It's a whole new world with this new MLS -- new data displays, some data issues, and much more. If you're seeing any oddities online (on Zillow, my website, any other website) -- just let me know -- I'll be happy to help you figure out what is going on amidst this transition.
