So, people can browse properties without sharing their name and email address, and possibly getting spammed. Redfin implemented these changes on October 1, and we know CondoDomain is right on our heels. #2 - The DoJ/NAR settlement in May eliminated this one. It states that listings will be shared equally among brokers. http://blog.redfin.com/blog/2008/05/no_ones_going_to_take_away_our_data_but_what_can_we_do_with_it.html No change on #1 - Consumers still have to register to read the full listing details, which includes the listing price history.
