Do you support real estate listings appearing directly in mobile search results via third-party programs?
Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) has signed a data agreement with HouseCanary to participate in the Google Listings Program. This move allows participating brokerages and agents across Arizona to display their property listings directly in Google mobile search results at no cost.
Why it matters
The program aims to increase the visibility of local real estate listings by placing them above standard pay-per-click advertisements on mobile devices. For sellers and buyers, this provides a more direct path to property details and agent contact information during the home search process.
ARMLS, which serves 38,000 subscribers, has secured this partnership despite HouseCanary currently operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Participating broker listings are scheduled to begin appearing in Google search results later this month.
The players
ARMLS
The Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service acts as the primary data hub for real estate professionals across the state.
HouseCanary
A real estate analytics firm that provides valuation and data services while currently operating under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The search engine platform managing the mobile listings program that aggregates real estate data for consumer search.
The details
To participate, local brokerages must manually opt in through the ARMLS platform. Once enabled, property listings appear in mobile search results with integrated details including the property data, associated brokerage and agent names, and direct contact options. This display mechanism prioritizes these organic-style listings by surfacing them above traditional pay-per-click advertising slots.
Timeline
Late 2025: The Google Listings Program began as a pilot.
Early 2026: The Google Listings Program officially launched.
October 2026: ARMLS broker listings go live in the Google program.
End of 2026: HouseCanary is expected to emerge from bankruptcy protection.
The Home Front
This integration follows the broader industry trend of regional MLS services adopting the Google Listings Program to compete with third-party real estate portals. It marks a significant shift in how property data is disseminated to the public outside of traditional listing sites.
Homeowners listing their properties should ask their real estate agent if their brokerage has opted into the new Google search display program. This can ensure your home receives the maximum possible exposure on mobile devices during the listing period.
The takeaway
The partnership prioritizes organic mobile visibility for Arizona homes by bypassing traditional ad-based search results. Homeowners can verify their property's online presence by searching for their address on a mobile device once the program integration goes live this month.
