Updates to Listing Management and Search: August 5

Based on your requests, we have made several changes to help make listing information more relevant and easier to find in Bright.

Please note: Some of the changes below affect required fields in Listing Management. If you have an on-market listing that is a waterfront property or a rental listing in the Active Under Contract or Pending status, you may need to update these fields the next time you edit your listing. Learn more about finding and updating required fields.

Separate private and community septic tank options

Under the Sewer Septic field, the “Private/Community Septic Tank” picklist option has been removed and split into two options: “Private Septic Tank” and “Community Septic Tank.” This will help better differentiate properties where community septic solutions are used.

Existing listings, auto emails, and saved searches containing the old option are in the process of being automatically updated to reflect both options. For on-market listings, you may update the listing to reflect one or the other.
 

 

Water Frontage in Feet required for waterfront listings

The Water Frontage in Feet field designates the amount of property that is adjacent to a body of water. This field is now required for listings when Waterfront Y/N = Yes, giving buyers that additional insight.
 

 

Additional Flooring Type options

Based on subscriber feedback to include more accurate and popular flooring types, the following picklist options have been added to the Flooring Type field in Listing Management and Search:

• Engineered Wood
• Laminate Plank
• Luxury Vinyl Plank
• Luxury Vinyl Tile
• Solid Hardwood

“Propane - Metered” option for Heating Fuel

Under the Heating Fuel field, a new picklist option for “Propane - Metered” is available for listings that feature a community tank for propane use where homeowners are metered and billed accordingly.

Year Built no longer required for listings where construction is not completed

For new construction listings where Construction Completed Y/N = No, Year Built is no longer a required field in Listing Management.

“Year to Date” section relabeled “Past 12 Months” on Residential Activity Report

The Residential Activity Report provides detailed information for an entire county, specific township/borough(s), or school district for a particular month or range of months. Under the Closed Listings section of this report, the “Year to Date” label has been relabeled “Past 12 Months” to clarify this section reflects activity from the last 12 months.
