New MLS Rules Changes Now Available;
Effective Aug. 12
CCAR has posted new MLS Rules & Regulations which will be effective August 12, 2024. These system changes reflect the work of the CCAR MLS Management Group (MMG) which has spent the last few months reviewing the rules in their entirety to ensure compliance with NAR and C.A.R. model MLS rules changes resulting from the NAR legal settlement. You may now access the new MLS Rules & Regulations and use the accompanying slide deck to help you navigate your way through each change.
Ethics Advocates Your Most Valuable Resource in a Dispute
An Ethics Advocate (EA) is a no-cost resource available upon request, supporting complainants and respondents involved in disciplinary proceedings. Ethics Advocates, who are trained Professional Standards volunteers, assist parties throughout the process. They help with concise form preparation, gathering evidence, and can provide support during hearings if requested.
While EAs are not attorneys and cannot practice law, they aid parties in presenting their case effectively, including completing Complaint and Response Forms and identifying relevant evidence. EAs do not act as witnesses during hearings. Although individuals must attend hearings themselves, an EA offers valuable assistance before, during, and and after the hearing. It’s important to note that using an EA does not preclude parties from retaining their own legal representation if desired.

CCAR Helping Hands Chili Cook-ON! – Sep. 18
California Latest Market Update – July 29
The economy expanded at a faster pace than expected in Q2, but the latest growth rate could be the highest we will see in the next few quarters. There are signs in recent months that suggest consumers are increasingly tapped out and could pull back further in coming months. An economic slowdown, however, is not necessarily bad news for the housing market. Mortgage rates, in fact, started this week at six-month lows, as the market has become more convinced that the Fed’s rate cuts will begin in September. Home sales should begin to bounce back and improve more consistently in Q3 and Q4.
US economy surprises with strong growth pace in second quarter: After dropping to the slowest growth pace in Q1 2024 since mid-2022, the U.S. economy bounced back with a stronger-than expected growth rate in the Q2 as consumer spending expanded at a faster clip and business investment continued to
