MLS Rules Changes August 2025

Two new rules have been approved and added to the Firelands MLS Ruels and Regulations.

Cancellation of Listing Prior to Expiration

Rules Updates August 2025 1.5.1

Multiple Listing Options for Sellers

In March 2025, NAR announced a new policy, Multiple Listing Options for Sellers. This created a new category of listings called Delayed Marketing Exempt Listings. These listings would be entered into the MLS but withheld from IDX data feeds to brokerage websites and other listing portals for a set number of days. These listing would be available to other MLS members for direct sharing with their clients or through auto-prospecting emails and client portals and would be available to brokerages VOW sites.

We have chosen not to implement this policy. We already have two options with similar results: the coming soon status and the public viewable yes/no field.

The below language is the updated rule with "0" days being allowed for delaying the public marketing of the listing.
