MLS UPDATE:

Expanded MLS Data Access – Southland Regional Assoc. of REALTORS® (SRAR):

Starting in May, your access to MLS data within the Paragon MLS will expand to include listings from the CRISnet MLS (SRAR). This collaboration between CCAR and SRAR continues the recent efforts to provide CCAR MLS Participants and Subscribers with expanded access to California MLS Data.
HomesOpenToday (HOT) & StreetURLs Sunsetting

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