On May 17th, CCAR will be sunsetting HomesOpenToday.com & StreetURLS.com. Although these services provided a benefit to CCAR, Bay East, and bridgeMLS Subscribers, along with East Bay consumers for over a decade, the ‘cost to benefit’ ratio is no longer beneficial to CCAR or its Membership to maintain these services.

MLS Rule Change 10.5:
Refusal to Sell

Next Monday, May 1st, the MLS Rules and Regulations will be updated to remove section 10.5 Refusal to Sell. After discussions with C.A.R. and NAR the joint MLS Committee (MMG) of CCAR, Bay East, and bridgeMLS determined it was best to move forward with removal.

10.5 Refusal to Sell. If the seller of any listed property filed with the service refuses to accept a written offer satisfying the terms and conditions stated in the listing, such fact shall be transmitted immediately to the service and to all participants and subscribers.

Coming Soon Listings –
Only Permitted for 30 Days

The CCAR MLS Compliance department has seen a recent increase in support tickets and questions regarding “Active – Coming Soon” listings. An “Active – Coming Soon” listing is only permitted to be in that listing status for 30 days. On day 31, any CCAR “Active – Coming Soon” listing is updated by CCAR staff to a “Cancelled – Coming Soon”. If needed, a listing agent may enter a new “Active – Coming Soon” listing.

The “Coming Soon” status in the MLS was created to allow for pre-marketing to other MLS Participants & Subscribers. It is not intended to be used as a replacement status for “New” or “Active”.

10.1.1 Coming Soon Listings. It shall be the responsibility of the Broker Participant (Section 4.1.1) and Real Estate Subscriber (Section 4.2.1) to follow said rules when placing a property in the Coming Soon section of the multiple listings service (MLS). Broker Participant and Real Estate Subscriber shall only place a property in the Coming Soon section of the MLS if the Participant/Subscriber has met necessary criteria for MLS input as described Sections 7.5, 7.6, & 8.1.

Participant/Subscriber is required to enter a proposed list date to proceed in placing a listing in the Coming Soon section of the MLS. Once the listing moves from Coming Soon to any Active status it cannot revert back to Coming Soon.

It is optional to place your listing into a Coming Soon Status.
Listing agent must have a signed written listing agreement in place to enter a “Coming Soon” listing which explains the limitations of the “Coming Soon” status.
The MLS requirement of unilateral offer of compensation still applies while in “Coming Soon” status.
The Coming Soon listing will automatically be placed in a “Cancelled – Coming Soon” after 30 days of entry.
Coming Soon listings will be viewable to all MLS Participants.
Coming Soon listings will not be syndicated out to other websites.
Coming Soon listings will not be included in the IDX and RETS feeds.
Coming Soon listings are only searchable within the Paragon MLS.
Once a listing has been moved from Coming Soon to Active status by the agent, it cannot revert to Coming Soon with that same broker.
Days on Market (DOM) re-sets when status is changed to Active. Cumulative Day on Market (CDOM) continues counting from the time entered into the MLS. Only when a property has been off the market (Canceled or Expired) for more than thirty (30) days will the days (DOM and CDOM) on the listing start at zero (0).

If you have any questions please contact CCAR MLS Compliance at 925.295.1270 or [email protected].
