The Austin Board of Realtors sent a letter to its members stating it had reached a settlement with its vendor for selling market and home sales data to the Travis Central Appraisal District.
CoreLogic, LLC runs the Board of Realtors’ multiple listing service for buying and selling homes.
THE BOARD has said CoreLogic selling that data is a contract violation, and filed a cease and desist earlier this year.
The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The data obtained by the Appraisal District is usually reserved for realtors and online realty websites.
Homeowners have expressed concerns about rising home values in Austin, and how much data TCAD has obtained ahead of accessing properties.
The state of Texas doesn’t require disclosure of real estate prices.
