MLS Data Sync and Freshness

Understanding how MLS data flows into your site helps you set proper expectations with clients.

Sync schedule

MLS data is synced via an automated cron job that runs daily. During each sync:

New listings are fetched from the Repliers TRREB REST API
Updated listings are refreshed with current prices and status
Sold or terminated listings are marked accordingly
Photos are fetched for new listings
Building matching runs for newly synced addresses

Data freshness

New listings appear on your site within 24 hours of being posted on MLS
Price changes are reflected at the next sync cycle
Status changes (sold, terminated, suspended) are updated daily
Photos are fetched only for new listings to optimize sync speed

The sync job is optimized with a time budget to stay within hosting limits. Each run processes as much data as possible within the allocated time window, picking up where it left off on the next run.

What is synced

Each MLS listing record includes:

Listing price and original price
Property type and subtype
Bedroom and bathroom count
Square footage (when available)
Address and building name
Photos (up to 10 per listing)
Days on market
Listing date and status changes

Manual refresh

Admins cannot manually trigger an MLS sync from the dashboard. The sync is fully automated. If you notice stale data, check the sync logs in Admin > Settings > MLS to verify the last successful run.

Coverage

Current MLS coverage includes all listings within the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB) territory, covering approximately 77,000 active listings across the Greater Toronto Area.
