CT-MLS to Add Westchester (NY) Homes to Site

Beginning in January, 2009, the Connecticut Statewide Multiple Listing Service, Inc. (CTMLS), will offer access to real estate property in Westchester and Putnam counties to its REALTOR® members and their clients (your blogger, Stephen Bornet (646) 734-8525 in a REALTOR).

Thanks to a Reciprocal Access Agreement signed between the Statewide MLS and the Westchester-Putnam MLS, members of the CT Statewide MLS will be able to review and search for property in the Westchester-Putnam MLS, and vice versa. CTMLS is the largest MLS in Connecticut and has the most real estate listings and REALTOR® members.

The addition of Westchester-Putnam MLS data to the Statewide MLS data makes the CT Statewide MLS the most effective means of buying or selling Fairfield County real estate for REALTORS® and their clients. Created in February of 2007, in two short years the CT Statewide MLS has brought significant improvement to the efficiency and quality of real estate market in Connecticut.

The ability for REALTOR® members of the Statewide MLS to search the Westchester-Putnam MLS combined with the massive exposure of Fairfield County listings to Westchester-Putnam real estate agents and their clients will go a long way towards improving the current challenging real estate market in Fairfield County. The Connecticut Statewide MLS is owned by the Connecticut Association of REALTORS®, Inc. and is not affiliated with the Greater Fairfield County Consolidated MLS, which does not offer access to the Westchester-Putnam MLS or expose Fairfield County real estate to Westchester-Putnam MLS members.
