MLS upgrade?
I'm sure it said the other day that MLS was going to be dramatically enhanced from the 28th May - still looks exactly the same to me? 
I'm guessing that means whatever they were planning didn't work as expect....

Re: MLS upgrade?
Didn't it say it was going to move to www.realtor.ca at the end of May?
It now says on there: "This web site is under renovation, and will be re-launched on June 30th, 2008"

Re: MLS upgrade?
Its all been delayed, due to those ever present "technical problems", its being re-branded as Realtor.ca.

Hope it's worth the wait!
I prefer point2homes.ca but they don't have the same amount of listing that MLS do....

Hi,
The Realtorlink web site says:
www.mls.ca to be renamed www.realtor.ca
The public www.mls.ca website will officially change its name to www.REALTOR.ca. on Monday June 30 th , 2008. The proposal to proceed with re-branding was approved at CREA's Special Assembly last October. The original launch date, set for late-May, was delayed due to some concerns raised by various real estate Boards and Associations.
The existing sites - mls.ca and sia.ca - will continue to operate after June 30, allowing consumers to use either the new site and its interactive mapping technology or the old site with the existing mapping. There will be no automatic re-direct to REALTOR.ca for mls.ca visitors during this "parallel" period.
At a later date, users will be automatically redirected from the existing site to the new REALTOR.ca. The re-direct will be instituted once technicians have resolved the concerns raised by the Boards and Associations.
As mentioned, REALTOR.ca will offer new features like interactive mapping and streamlined text search capabilities.
Like everyone else, I wait to see the benefits that the new site will bring to the world.
Warmly,
Frank
