Hover over the "Search Agent" to find the "Links" button. Click on "Links".

 

Click on the image for a larger version of this screenshot. The Links panel has a list of custom links, many of which I and other bloggers like you created.  If you need an RSS URL simply use the search feature to find the area you’re looking for.  Then right click on the RSS icon to copy that URL.  Alternatively click on the RSS icon and you’ll see the actual RSS and you can grab the URL at the top of that page.  If no link exists for your area, you’ll need to “Create a Link.”

Start by naming your search, selecting "RESULTS PAGE" and "Time on Market Ascending"

Take care to name your search.  The Title doesn’t do any actual searching.  It’s just a name for your search.  On “Landing Page” select “Results Page”.  Then select “Time on Market Ascending”.

Use map tools to scroll into the target area.

Scroll down then use the map tools to zoom into your target area. Colonial Acres is in the Mount Vernon area, so we’ve zoomed into Mount Vernon.

Use the search criteria to find listings

Now we enter the actual search criteria to find the listings we seek.  In this case I entered “Colonial Acres” into the Location.  Then I clicked “constrain results to map” which means that we’re only going to find Colonial Acres homes that are in the Mount Vernon area shown on this map.  We do that because America is a big country and there a lot of Colonial Acres.  We’re only interested in Colonial Acres homes near Mount Vernon.  However, and this is important, if you map is showing the wrong area you might not get any or all listings in your search.

Select the types of homes and hit Refresh Sample Results

Under property types you’ll most usually select Residential All.  Then click Refresh Sample Results. If you’ve done your search properly a few homes for sale in the area will populate in the panel.  Now you can click “Save Link”.  You can now find this link in the list of links as described above or in the Home Search panel where we normally insert listings.
