C.A.R. Red Alert: Oppose New Property Taxes!

C.A.R. OPPOSES Senate Bill 1105 (Hueso) and Senate Bill 679 (Kamlager) each of which creates an unelected agency with the power to impose a range of new property taxes. Those taxes would make keeping and getting into a home more expensive and difficult, potentially taxing people out of their homes and pushing homeownership out of reach for many of California’s working families.

HERCULES & PINOLE CHARTER CITY CALLS FOR ACTION UPDATE

Last Tuesday, July 12th, both the City of Pinole and the City of Hercules city councils voted to not move forward with a November ballot measure that would have allowed the city to establish itself as a Charter City for the sole purpose of establishing a Real Estate Transfer Tax (RETT). These taxes would have been anywhere from an additional $8 per thousand to $12 per thousand, not including the $1.10 per thousand already included in transactions in Contra Costa County. A special thank you goes out to members who participated in the Calls for Action and who attended the council meetings to speak in opposition, as we would not have been able to do it without you!

Missing Tours Due To “Tour Group” Filter

If you use the “Tour Group” filter to run your tour report, you may miss listings on tour from the data share MLSs. The “Tour Group” field within Paragon is tied to the “Area” field; however, the data share MLSs (MetroList, SFAR, BAREIS, and MLSListings ) tours are not.  CCAR is working with its MLS vendor to remedy the issue.
