Residential and Condo Property Classes are Moving in Together |

WHAT’S CHANGING?

On January 8th, 2019, the standalone condominium property class is being removed, and condos are joining single-family homes to form a single Residential property class that includes the following property subtypes:

SINGLE FAMILY

Site Built
Zero Lot Line
Modular
Manufactured-Foundation
Manufactured-Mobile
Horizontal Property Regime (HPR) – Attached
Horizontal Property Regime (HPR) – Detached

CONDOMINIUM

Cottage/Garden Condo
Flat Condo
Highrise Condo
Loft Condo
Other Condo
Townhouse Condo

WHAT’S DIFFERENT?

This update will allow users to search for ALL single family and condo listings in a particular area regardless of how they are listed, resulting in a much more thorough and robust set of search results.
When searching for residential listings, you will see the new Type field under Common Criteria that allows the selection of any combination of single family or condo listing types.
All of the selections will be checked and searched for by default; however, you can easily select only the options you want and search in any combination of residential and condo – all without the need of a cross-class search!
You can save your favorite listing Type combination as your default search. Instructions on how to create and save a new default search can be viewed at help.realtracs.net.
Add/Edit is updating too; Residential will be the choice for both single-family homes and condos. The specific sub-type will be chosen when inputting the details of the listing.

ANYTHING ELSE?

There are a few important notes to pass along:

Existing condo listings (with current MLS numbers) will convert to Residential automatically
Condo saved searches and auto-notify searches will be converted automatically
Definitions of the various property subtypes can be found at help.realtracs.net
The existing Exterior Alterations and Other Restrictions fields in Condo will not be moving to Residential
