    The 'existing homes' listings on Yahoo! Real Estate are not exclusively Prudential listings. Yahoo! Real Estate links their users that perform an “existing homes” search to a local Prudential affiliate in certain markets (nearly all major metro areas). The local Prudential broker operates an Internet Data Exchange (IDX) site in compliance with local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) rules and regulations.

    This partnership allows Yahoo! Real Estate to provide users with access to MLS listings while complying with the various MLS rules and regulations. While an “existing homes” search takes you to a Prudential/Yahoo! Real Estate co-branded site that is hosted by a local Prudential affiliate, users have access to all MLS listings in the area, not just Prudential listings.

    There are very complex rules and regulations regarding the display of these listings, and the current integration allows Yahoo! Real Estate to provide comprehensive MLS listings while complying with the intricate legal aspects of displaying such information.

    What is the 'old system' that you are referring to? You can still also search Yahoo! Classifieds listings to see hundred of thousands of listings hosted by Yahoo!

    I was a realtor with Prudential, they teamed up with Yahoo. when you 'sign up' to view the homes, you are basically giving leads to Prudential. just try www.realtor.com

    The old system in my opinion was much better. You may want to check other realestate sites.
