All of us are aware of what is happening to our economy, we are getting to a hole and with that even our real estate is in a deeper hole. Roost is a real estate search engine that is grabbing data from MLS listings. And they say that Roost has more comprehensive and accurate listings in the cities and it covers search engines like Trulia and Zillow.

But Roost was too late to market that’s why it is surprising that it was able to raise a second round in this environment. The direct listings in the MLS are a great advantage but then it is not enough to get Roost over the hump.

They have raised 5.5 million last January form General Catalyst Partners, which are the Cross Country Group and Geolo Capital. From the last round they make it well in the participated round. Roost also just added foreclosure listings from First American CoreLogic, a pretty common feature on real-estate sites.
