Shelter in Place Order: Private Showings

Showing Information: Not Allowed in Remarks

In support of the statewide Shelter in Place, effective immediately, CCAR, Bay East, and bridgeMLS Showings must conform to the strictest limitations imposed by government entities for the jurisdiction within which the property is located. Showing must only occur virtually or, if a virtual viewing is not feasible, by appointment (Vacant Properties only) with no more than two visitors at a time residing within the same household or living unit and one individual showing the unit (except that in person visits are not allowed when the property is being lived in).

Members are permitted to add “Shown By Appointment” (Vacant Properties only) only in the confidential remarks. All other showing instructions are not allowed in the MLS and will be removed. Per the guidelines, showings are to be by appointment with no more than two visitors and one individual showing the unit.

Members are allowed to enter a branded, unbranded virtual tour or live stream open house links in the public remarks.

Shelter in Place Order: Tour/Open House Shut Off

bridgeMLS Participants/Subscribers,

In accordance with the Shelter in Place order and in the best interest of Participants/Subscribers, clients, and the community, CCAR, Bay East AOR and bridgeMLS have temporarily shut down member’s ability to schedule, promote and access open houses and broker tours, effective immediately. We will continue to keep you updated as news becomes available.

Please note that we are not eliminating your capability to add a Listing into the MLS.

bridgeMLS Rule Change: Days on Market

Update message: Beginning August 1, 2020, the option to request the "New" status for a Temporarily Withdrawn listing will expire. Any listings with the "Temporarily Withdrawn" status will require users to select "Back on Market" or "Active" status if the property is returning on market.

For any questions, please contact bridgeMLS Compliance at

Compliance@bridgeMLS.com

bridgeMLS Participants/Subscribers,

Due to the Shelter in Place Order from local counties, bridgeMLS Board of Directors have established a temporary MLS rule change.

If you placed your listing in “Temporary Withdrawn” status on or after Monday, March 9, 2020 (where the listing contract is still valid, but the property is not being actively marketed) so it does not accrue DOMLS or CDOMLS, we will allow you to email us a request to have that listing marked as “New” once the listing has been changed back to any Active status.

Please note that the “New” status will not change, or zero-out, or “reset” the Days on MLS(DOM) or Cumulative Days on MLS(CDOMLS) counter on listings. Using “Temporary Withdrawn” will stop DOMLS and CDOMLS from incrementing.

Also, please be aware that placing a listing “Temporary Withdrawn” will not stop all third-party sites (such as Zillow, Redfin, etc) from incrementing their days on market count on listings that they have already received, as many of these sites and portals calculate “days on site” or “days on market” according to their own systems. bridgeMLS has no control over that.

For any questions, please contact Support@bridgemls.com

Thank you,

DaVina Lara, CEO
