Hey Ram, I agree, that including the home's orientation (e.g., North or West facing) in search criteria can be helpful, especially for clients who value natural light or have cultural or personal preferences. This field is available in MLS, but since its not mandatory, it may not be filled in for every property, which could limit search results.

At the moment, realtors or subscribers of HAR are only able to see this field when setting up a search or populating results, however, I believe it should be implemented for consumers as well.

Absolutely, having the home direction (North Facing, West Facing, etc.) as a feature in the search criteria is beneficial, especially for clients who prioritize natural light or have specific preferences based on cultural or personal beliefs.

Absolutely, having the home direction (North Facing, West Facing, etc.) as a feature in the search criteria is beneficial, especially for clients who prioritize natural light or have specific preferences based on cultural or personal beliefs. We already have this field in MLS, which is great. However, since its not a required field, it might not be populated for all properties, which could limit the comprehensiveness of the search results. Still, its a valuable tool to include where available, and we can always work around it by manually verifying for key listings if necessary.
