Listing Data
# How We Keep Listings Current


New York City listings on this site come from the REBNY Residential Listing Service (RLS), the listing system New York brokers enter their listings into. Each listing page shows up to three different times beneath the property description. They answer different questions, and we keep them apart.

**Latest feed check:** Nov 12, 2026, 5:44 AM ET

## “Real Estate Rebate Team checked”

This is the last time our system finished checking the RLS feed. A check asks the feed for every listing that is new or has changed since the previous check, and separately confirms which listings are still in the feed, so that a listing a broker has withdrawn is taken down here. We run it about every 3 minutes.

The time shown is the moment that check _started_, and only a check that completed counts. If our checks are interrupted, the time stops moving and the page says when the last one was; it is never filled in or estimated. The time keeps updating while you have a listing open.

It is a statement about the feed, not about one home. It tells you that, as of that time, the RLS had reported no change to the listing beyond what the page shows. It does not mean that anyone inspected the property, called the listing broker or confirmed any detail.

## “Listing updated”

This is when the listing itself last changed: for example, the listing broker changed the price, the status, the description, the details or the photos. Where the RLS gives the time of that change we show it; otherwise we show the time our system recorded the change, usually a few minutes later. Checking the feed does not move it. A listing that has not changed since June says June, however recently we checked.

## “On Real Estate Rebate Team”

Some listings also show how long they have been on this site, such as “5 hours on Real Estate Rebate Team”. It counts from the moment the listing first appeared here, which you can see by selecting the figure. It is not the date the home was listed for sale. We show it only where our records establish that first appearance; where they do not, the line is left out.

## “Page updated”

Listing pages also carry our own content: tax history, recorded sales in the building, price history and neighborhood information. “Page updated” is the last time anything on the page changed, including that content. It is the date we give search engines for the page, and it is shown on a listing only where neither of the times above is available.

## What we do not verify

Listing information is provided by the listing broker through the RLS. We display it as the feed reports it, with the listing broker credited on every listing. We do not independently verify prices, sizes, room counts, availability or any other listing detail, and the RLS itself does not guarantee them. Before you rely on a detail, ask us to confirm it with the listing broker.

## Listings this does not cover

The “checked” line appears on RLS sale listings that are on the market, in contract or recently sold. It does not appear on New Jersey listings, on listings that closed some time ago, or on pages for homes we represent directly, because the feed check described here does not include them.
