EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends and restates the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 21, 2011 by Market Leader, Inc. (the “Company”), which reported on Item 1.01 the Company’s entry into an Asset Purchase Agreement and on Item 2.01 the completion of such acquisition, to reflect in Item 9.01(a) and (b) that no financial statements or pro forma financial information will be filed by amendment. The Company has determined that assets acquired did not constitute a “business” as that term is used in Regulation S-X, Rule 8-04, because the nature of the revenue generating activity for these assets will not remain generally the same following the acquisition. Accordingly, no financial statements or pro forma financial information are required to be filed on Item 9.01. Certain pro forma information concerning the assets acquired will be included in the notes to the consolidated financial statements to be included in the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

(“Realestate.com” and together with LendingTree, the “Seller”). On September 16, 2011, the transaction contemplated by the Asset Purchase Agreement was completed.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company acquired certain assets related to Seller’s business of providing information, tools and services to consumers seeking real estate services. The acquired assets include patents, trademarks and approximately 400 domain names, including Realestate.com; software related to consumer web services; information, contracts and content necessary to operate the Realestate.com website; and, a network of over 250 real estate broker customers.
