A recent Add/Edit upgrade introduces new fields and lookup capabilities you can readily put to use in your listings and see in updated forms now available on our website.
Field Additions
Carport Spaces was added to Farm and Commercial/Mixed Use listings.
Other Parking Spaces is now available on Multi-Family (MF) in the Structure section (as well as in the MF units section as before.
Lots and Land (LL) was updated with new conservation fields including the USDA Conservation Reserve Program (CRP Acres), Wetland Reserve Program (WRP Acres), Reinvest in Minnesota (RIM Acres) statewide program, All Program Acres, Program Expiration Date and Program Income are also now included in all LL listings.
In compliance with Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) guidelines we added a new Foundation Details field, which has the same required rules as Basement fields. Read more about these changes in this blog.
Lookup Changes/Additions
Single Family Residential, Residential Rental Listings, CMU, MF and Farm listings all saw these new Lookup changes and additions:
- In keeping with RESO standards, we added new lookups and moved some of the lookups from Basement to the new required field Foundation Details.
- In the Lots and Land property type, under the Land section of the listing there is a new option within the Builder Restriction field called Not Buildable.
Notable Reordered Sections/Fields
For all property types we moved Existing Financing, Assumable Loan and Terms (Seller Will Accept) into the Listing Section.
We also reordered fields in both the Land and Structure sections.
For CMU and MF we rearranged the Unit Sections and reordered the Financial Sections. In MF you’ll also see the Income/Expenses Section is now called Financial match how it is ordered in CMU.
We also moved up the “Internet Section between Auction and Land Sections to match other property types.
For CMU, we split the Land & Structure section into two individual sections, Land and Structure, to match other property types.
We hope these updates provide you with a more streamlined and consistent experience. Call us at help@northstarmls.com with any questions or concerns.
