I noticed that online home listing services such as Zillow and Redfin provide on any given listing third party school rating data. However, one cannot sort homes using the third party school rating data and l've always wondered if it's because it's considered steering.
It's probably not illegal, although I don't know that for a fact. Those sites don't let you filter on a lot of criteria. They mostly cater to agents and secondarily to buyers. They also are still stuck in the past modes of searching for places.<p>You can see this how they are geared around searching and filtering based on a local you want to move to. The sites really suck if your search is largely location irrelevant and you're wanting to pick a place on let's say lowest property taxes.
