Internet Data Exchange (IDX) is an umbrella term used to cover policies, standards, and software pertaining to the display of real estate listing information on websites.

Most importantly for agents and brokers, IDX is what enables members of a multiple listing service (MLS) to integrate real estate listings from the MLS database into their own websites.

IDX establishes a data connection between your website and the MLS, imports listings, and displays them on your website. The listings are updated every few hours, so your audience always has access to the most recent listings and can contact you for information about the available properties.

That WAV study was from 2012. Do you have any recent data supporting the argument that local real estate websites are more accurate? We used to say this as well, but unfortunately, it seems that Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, etc., have upped their game. If they are not using IDX now, it's something just as fast.
