Accessing & Enabling Archived Data From TRREB

Understanding the availability and process for accessing archived data is essential for users who require comprehensive historical data for their Virtual Office Website (VOW). This article provides detailed information on how to access archived data from the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board (TRREB), including the prerequisites, compliance requirements, and associated costs.

Default Data Availability

By default, your VOW feed includes data from the past two years. This is the standard offering and is sufficient for most users' immediate needs.

Accessing Archived Data

TRREB offers archived data dating back to 2003. However, obtaining this data involves a few important steps:

Website Compliance Review: Before granting access to archived data, TRREB will review your website for compliance. This review ensures that your site adheres to TRREB's rules and guidelines.

Completion of VOW Website: You must first complete your VOW website using the two years of sold data provided by default. This step is crucial as it demonstrates your capability to handle and display the data appropriately.

Application Process: Once your website is compliant and operational with the initial two years of data, you can apply for access to the archived data. TRREB will conduct a compliance check as part of the application process.
