A buyer finds the perfect home on your website, calls you, and it went under contract yesterday.
That usually isn't the buyer's fault or yours. It's how often your IDX feed updates.
NAR policy only requires IDX listings to refresh at least once every 12 hours. That's 2 updates a day. A lot can change in 12 hours: new listings, price drops, homes going pending.
At OSI IDX, listing data refreshes every 10 minutes, photos included. That's 144 updates a day.
Our CEO Rob Wade explains what the MLS rules require, why faster updates matter, and a simple 3-step test to check your own provider's speed. 👇
