You sell the property and, when the appraisal comes back, it shows only 1,000 square feet of above-grade space. What’s going on? Has the appraiser made a mistake?

MLS “AREA” Field Change Notice – Nov. 6, 2023
Effective Nov. 6, the “AREA” field lookup values will be updated to a single lookup value called “Listing”. This means that instead of selecting various “AREA” options, you will now see one “Listing” value. We want to ensure that you have a clear understanding of how this change will impact your workflow.
Action Required – Update Your Saved Searches

2. City
3. Zip Code
