That is correct. NAR can only make recommendations. It’s still up to the individual MLS or Associations to enact/enforce them.
A good example of this is NAR’s recommendation from roughly 5 years ago stating that all IDX feed providers should switch to RETS exclusively. As of this moment we still serve up ~45 FTP feeds because that’s what we’re being provided.

Loading...Hi James,
This is Josh with IDXBroker.
Sold data is something that obviously adds a great deal of value to any real estate website and a feature we’ve been planning for and working on for a while. However, we quickly (and early on) realized that part of being able to offer this functionality would require a re-working of our underlying acquisition architecture.
As such, the IDX data team has been working for the past few months planning and developing an entirely new system for our acquisition servers to retrieve and store listing data. This change will actually open up a number of new possibilities including not only sold data, but intra-day updates, more robust and scalable performance, and faster query times for front-end users (among other things).
Though we are getting closer with this change — we are not quite there yet, and more work needs to be completed before we’ll see the fruits of our labors. Because of this I also don’t have a precise timeline on when we will be able to provide these features.
I assure you as well as our other partners that we are investing a large amount of resources into this effort to make sure it’s done both quickly and with the best quality. Everyone here is excited to see the progress that’s made towards that end every day, and we know that it will be the system we need to deliver the kinds of features your asking about.
As we get closer to completion I know that the business team will start to solidify target dates for specific features, but until they do — rest assured we are working diligently every day.
