Property Search Sold Limited by Time
The Sold and Rented properties on the search are great, but they need to be limited by time. When you search active, you don't need that limitation, but for sold properties, we're now returning properties sold any time. Zillow limits this by replacing the listing by address - each address can have only one listing, the most recent sale or status, but the MLS uses unique MLS numbers which will get assigned each time the property is listed.
You certainly don't want to see properties sold 15-20 years ago alongside properties sold this year. That is not the purpose of viewing sold properties. We or the client searching will want to demonstrate market values and sold prices that are relevant.
Hopefully this can be updated. Great job with all the other changes!

On the Consumer Site, add the ability to filter sold listings for a specified period of time (i.e., last 6 months, 12 months, 24 months, all time, etc). In some areas, it displays past sales going back 4-5 years or more. While it is great to enable access to this historical data, being able to narrow down on the last 6 - 12 months of sales is more meaningful for most consumers.
