		<description>Those look like they might be redemption prices, how much was not paid.   Foreclosures sell for about 90% of fair market value.

Without addresses it is hard to tell what the real prices are, but I will see if I can find an example and post it.

edit:

That took me awhile.   They are pulling default notices and calling them foreclosures.  Those homes are not for sale at all and have not been foreclosed on.    The owners are late paying their mortgage, but that is the extent of it.

I found one real foreclosure, http://realestate.aol.com/foreclosures/Surrey_Ln-Oakland-CA-94605/4.32112323

However they are saying it is only 459,146 when the actual list price is $599,000

Listing the default notices seems to be a lure to get you to pay for information that is actualy free.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<description>That&#039;s a scam to eventually pull you into a service that supposedly offers private listings of foreclosures..Although there are so great deals-there are no steals...Even in an auction situation the bank has a pre-determined minimum they will accept and a bidder to represent their best interests...Get yourself a Broker--they will be able to access everything through a multiple listings service for no charge..They can also look up comps. and they will have the knowledge of the market where you are looking.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;Landlord</description>

		<description>It is a scam and the only way to find out is check with a local realtor who is the only one with the list.   The cost of the foreclosure is usually the balance of the mortgage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>

		<title>Comment on yahoo realestate xml example? by Koolkat</title>

		<description>xml is Excel spreadsheet format.

The fields list is all you need.  Copy the field list across the top row in a new Excel page.  Then fill in the details underneath, for your your property.  It will include items like real estate type (house, condo etc), for sale or rental, address, various description fields, and  things such as DisloseAddress, which you fill with  Yes if you want it done and No if you don&#039;t want it.  Any that don&#039;t apply to your ad, just leave blank.  

This lets you submit numerous properties on one XML sheet, one property per row on the sheet. 

If you could come back here and put the link for the page that directs you to that PDF, I could look it up for you and give you better details.
=======

I see what you mean. 

Address  type the address.

Other items where it days &quot;decimal&quot; just type numbers eg 56000.00 or 3.5, no commas or dollar signs.

&quot;String&quot; means words, eg name of provider (you) or builder. 

for &quot;Enumeration&quot; they&#039;ve listed all the choices you have. I get the impression you need to put these into quotes, the way they have them shown.

Woops, further down (purchase, lease, rent etc) they DON&#039;T have them in quotes. Try them each way.

I suggest you copy only the compulsory fields to your spreadsheet, and submit ONE sample, with one item in quotes and one not. See which one comes out and then stick with that style for the rest.

listingsKey  and ListingKey are confusingly NOT THE SAME. The top one is a code you invent eg &quot;julylisting1&quot; for the whole ad; the second is another one you invent for this particular property only, eg &quot;wiscCondo&quot;.

&quot;integer&quot; means a number, eg 500 (square feet).

Anywhere that says &quot;Boolean&quot; means yes/no. They don&#039;t specify whether to write Yes/no, so it might be better to use computer boolean, which is 1   for yes and 0 for no.

Where they ask for URLs, eg for images, put the images into Flickr and give the URL for that page.

Once you&#039;ve worked out your test submission, also add in the next page of non-compulsory items, as some of them would be of good value to potential buyers.

Section 6 - Data Transmission  tells you the address to upload your file to. I suggest you name your files with some initials, such as your company initials, and the date, eg MRL20100705.xml.

WOW they expect a lot of computer expertise from real estate experts. I hope this helps you get started.&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;References : &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description>
