IDX is a feature that allows users to search properties on your website, display office and agent listing to a website or import listings and photos into your website.
For over a decade, we have proudly partnered with iHomefinder to provide the most cost-effective IDX solutions for our clients. However, iHomefinder has recently shifted its business strategy and focus.
Effective February 1st, 2025, they discontinued all other pricing plans, and now only offer only one plan moving forward, **iHomefinder Max**, priced at $150 per month.
While the iHomefinder Max plan includes advanced features and enhanced IDX integration, we understand that this change may represent a significant and unexpected cost increase for many brokers, teams and agents.
Due to the amount of the price increase, we proactively removed IDX services from all accounts by the deadline, and e-mailed notices asking how you'd like to proceed.
Given the widespread use of platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com, many consumers now prefer these sites for property searches.
Unless you are actively promoting your website’s search functionality, or using the "Featured" listings features, etc., maintaining IDX services might not be essential, however if you'd like to keep IDX services, we've arranged for an alternative provider with similar features for a lower cost.
If you have not already signed up for the new IDX service (below), your IDX features will remain disabled until you notify us what you'd like to do.
If you wish to continue offering IDX on your LinkURealty website, you have three options:
Upgrade to iHomefinder Max for $150/month. You can start the process here: https://idxbroker.linkurealty.com/idx-ihomefinder-upgrade
This is highly recommended if you have a lot of custom pages or links with custom search pages, have specific customizations with iHomeFinder, or use the import from IDX feature in LinkURealty. This way once iHomefinder is re-enabled, all the existing links and custom searches will continue to work.
Switch to our other IDX partner, IDX Broker, starting at $55/month (you get the Platinum upgrade free), please a one-time paperwork processing fee of $45 in addition to pass-through fees if applicable).
You can start the process here:

Switch your IDX to another vendor or link to another website, such as links provided by your MLS board or broker.
Remove IDX functionality from your website completely.
Please notify us of of your decision at [email protected] ASAP.
Your rebill for your LinkURealty website services have been adjusted according to the changes and credits will be applied to account if applicable.
If you have any questions or need assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to [email protected].
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
