Recently, based on recommendations from its Multiple Listing Issues and Policies Committee, the NAR Board of Directors approved six policy changes that will become effective on January 1, 2022.  The changes are geared towards increasing transparency and clarifying existing policy and making listing data more consistent for better understanding both within the industry and for consumers.

Go here for a list of the six policy recommendations going into effect for NAR related MLSs at the beginning of 2022. Individual MLSs are free to adopt the changes sooner as a matter of individual MLS discretion.
