Is California’s Homeowners Insurance
Market Stabilizing?
Tune in Wednesday, August 19, at 5:00 pm for a statewide webinar exploring the latest developments in California’s homeowners insurance market.
The market may be showing early signs of stabilization, with new analysis indicating that growth in the FAIR Plan could be slowing following the implementation of the Sustainable Insurance Strategy.
The webinar will feature Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara, Carolyn Kousky of Insurance for Good, and Amy Bach of United Policyholders. Together, they will discuss recent FAIR Plan trends, signs of renewed insurer participation, reforms intended to expand coverage options, and the work still ahead to create a healthier and more resilient insurance market.
Why Should Your Listing Generate Someone Else’s Lead?
Your listings should be connected directly to you. Beginning August 11, CCAR will launch a new property listing portal giving you free leads, increased listing exposure, and a direct IDX feed from the 27-county NorCal Multiple Listing Service.

Update on HomeSpotter and DataMaster
CCAR MLS is committed to regularly evaluating the products and services we provide to ensure they continue to meet the needs of our Participants and Subscribers and deliver meaningful value. As part of this ongoing review, we have made the decision not to renew our agreements with HomeSpotter and DataMaster, effective in August. We appreciate both companies for their partnership and the support they have provided to our members over the years.
When evaluating MLS products, we consider several factors, including member adoption, overall usage, and the value each solution provides to our membership. Our review found that HomeSpotter and DataMaster have seen very limited utilization among CCAR members. Given this low level of adoption, we have determined that our resources are better invested in products and services that provide greater value and benefit to a larger portion of our membership.
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to evaluate and refine our MLS offerings to ensure we are delivering the most impactful tools and resources for our members.
- DataMaster is a software tool for appraisers.
- CCAR members who currently utilize the HomeSpotter Mobile App can find similar functionality in other agent-client search collaboration tools such as Realtor.com+, Homes.com Pro, Paragon Connect, and RPR.
