The Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Services is acquiring data provider The Information Market. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
The Information Market is a leader in real estate data research, with clients including Arizona State University, The Arizona Republic, The Cromford Report and several Valley cities.
With the acquisition, ARMLS members will have access to Information Market data from public records on home sales and foreclosures.
The 30-year-old regional Realtor group has been undergoing changes since a deal to expand statewide failed last year.
Bob Beamis, the industry group's last chief executive, left in February to join Zillow.
