With AkiyaMart v4, we solved that problem. Let us tell you how we did it. Unlike in the US, where the MLS aggregates property details into singular cohesive listings, Japan's REINS system operates almost like a series of Craigslist ads. We wanted to simplify the home search process for you, so we built our own way to provide aggregate listings with a real-time price history so that you get the full picture right away.
