I would recommend splitting the property type and how the property is offered into two fields, since things like "Rental" and "Single Family Home" are not mutually exclusive. I would also recommend these fields for actual listing websites: PropertyType: Single Family Home, Condo, Town Home, Apartment, Duplex, Fourplex, Multi-family, Commercial (there are many more, there is even something know as a Dockuminium in florida, which is a deed-able boat dock) ListingType: Listing Type indicates the type of listing (For Lease, For Sale, Off-Market) ListingStatus: Active, Active-Contingent, Pending, Pending Taking Backups, Sold StatusLastUpdated: The date/time stamp when the listing information was last updated. ListingWebPage: the URL to the broker's or owner's page about this property. This is probably a good idea, since the broker or owner's website will have the most up to date information, including contact information, for further listing information. It is also a good practice for areas that may lack an MLS (like NYC) or other canonical source of listing information. These come from fairly standard MLS fields that are generally shared between MLS system vendors. For 1/2 bathrooms the MLS field standard has generally been to list each as an individual field, and let the web companies decide how to display the information, since this is less ambiguous.
