Improve Display of MLS Data

Example: http://www.mnseller.com/idx/mls-39625...

The room dimensions for the listings display very ugly:
Bedroom 1 Length 13 Bedroom 1 Width 18 and the level the bedroom is on is in a whole different section!

No one reads things that way, it should be: Bedroom 1: 13x18 - Upper

There are some other oddities in these as well but that's my biggest gripe. To be honest, the whole layout could be dramatically improved!

    Agreed. Made same post a few months back. Just not very attractive. Too much info maybe? Maybe something that could be expanded if people want more details??

    PS...maps are way more important than features/details. They should be right under description and photos of the property.

  • Right now for the nitty-gritty fields like bedroom and bathroom sizes, we simply display the fields nearly exactly as we get them. This is why some fields may not be the best displayed or why fields (like level) may be in an area different than where you might expect.

    We may calculate these and re-display as dimensions or otherwise modify every field and all data to make these easier to read down the road, but for the time being our focus is making the primary listing data look good, SEO-friendly, and then the rest of the fields we display as-is from the MLS.

    Also: moving of the maps (and collapsing layouts and other re-configuring) is something that we would like to add sooner rather then later as a customizable option, but we do not have plans to make a higher map the default setting. We'll post any news on changes to either of these here or in the release notes of future new versions.
