It's working pretty well so far. Besides our geocoding experiment. That's a mess ;)
Here's the problem. We're currently only getting around 4,000 listings (I'm expecting 6,000) - apparently only Residential properties. When I do a SELECT DISTINCT on the 'Type' field, I only get 'Residential' and 'Farm/Farmette' (which I assume is essentially residential).
