As appraisers we are required to use 2 data souces deemed reliable, USPAP and FNMA I think? Well in any event I have always used 2, MLS and, for the past couple of years, NDC. Well, our MLS here in San Diego has stoped generating their own public records data and are now providing a link, for members only, to a data source called Realist. Realist is searchable, provides plat maps, sales history, mortgage history, etc...! As a non-member of the MLS I would have to pay for a membership to Realist. My question is, is this considered a second data source?
