Hopefully the Realtor system programmers can figure out a solution for the "year built" problem! That sounds fine for now.

This is something only Realtors can search on in mycaar. Thanks for your consideration. Wow, it would be fabulous to include a feature for “first floor bedroom”.

I was going to change the default "minimum age" to 1750, but did a quick search of homes in the MLS - 69 in the Central Virginia came back as older than 1750 ... 9 had actual "year built" as prior to 1750, the rest indicated the year built was zero. It's a flaw with the system and the Realtors. For now, I'm going to leave it at zero (I can shift it myself in the back end), but don't want to risk eliminating any properties. What do you think?

I noticed a small bug when using the "year built" feature: since the range is so wide, the slider tools aren't usable. Year built goes from 0 to present. Maybe it should go ~1700 to present? Would that exclude listings missing year built data? I wonder what the oldest home in the area is? (for some context Monticello=1772) Thanks for adding the garage search feature!
