Geographic information (nodes: //location and //selling-place)

Geographic information is essential for any type of listing.

These rules are applied, identically, at different points in the feed:

Properties

//property/location

Judicial auctions (place of sale)

//auction/selling-place

Real estate at auction

//auction/estates/estate/location

//location

Container node of the geographic data of the property.

Example:

  <location>
    <country-code>IT</country-code>
    <administrative-area>Marche</administrative-area>
    <sub-administrative-area>Ancona</sub-administrative-area>
    <city code="042021">Jesi</city>
    <locality map="exact">
      <postal-code>60035</postal-code>
      <latitude>43.5176</latitude>
      <longitude>13.2506</longitude>
      <thoroughfare display="yes"><![CDATA[Via Marconi, 292]]></thoroughfare>
    </locality>
  </location>
//selling-place

Only for auction sale location the location node changes name to ``_`.

Example:

  <selling-place>
    <country-code>IT</country-code>
    <administrative-area>Marche</administrative-area>
    <sub-administrative-area>Ancona</sub-administrative-area>
