New Paragon MLS Search Field Launching Oct. 5

by

To ensure you have access to all data from the NorCal MLS Alliance, a new field will launch in Paragon October 5th. This new “Total Number of Garage & Parking Space” field will be located to the “garage Space” field when searching and will include the following tooltip:

“Total parking is the complete sum of all places you have sole right to put a vehicle that does not get towed legally. It could be a spot in a garage, it might be an allocated spot in a condo complex, but it would NOT be an open street space or any public parking spaces that are shared.”
