MLS.ca is an Internet portal site operated by the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). Most real estate boards in Canada (the Toronto Real Estate Board being one of them), upload partial listing information to MLS.ca.
MLS.ca has become a major advertising vehicle to market real estate. More than 1 million unique visitors a month visit MLS.ca.
It is important to understand that MLS.ca is not the MLS System that agents use to facilitate the purchase and sale of properties. Agents use their respective board MLS systems which contain much more current and historical information and are current in real-time. The only consumer access to the real MLS system is through agents and their use of Property Match which provides consumers with new listings that match their criteria from the MLS system.
