|
|

On December 10, 2025, several Bright policy updates will go into effect with the goal of adding flexibility, clarity, and control when you’re working with listings in the Bright system.
Here’s a look at the upcoming changes:

- You must provide final seller concessions information at closing. (If none were offered, enter “0.”)
-
You will now have the ability to remove all but the main exterior photo from the Internet when the listing closes, is withdrawn, or goes temporarily off market.
- When entering an Office Exclusive in Bright, you are now required to upload the OE form (previously this form was required to be kept on file).

SRA: The Economic Ripple Effect of an NFIP Lapse
|
|
|
|
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides $1.3 trillion in flood insurance to 4.7 million policyholders in 23,000 communities across the United States. A lapse in NFIP authority puts an estimated 1,400 transactions a day at risk of moving forward without vital flood coverage. Because Congress failed to meet the Sept. 30 deadline to pass a spending measure that included extension of NFIP authority, homeowners in high-flood-risk areas and those looking to purchase homes may be forced to proceed to closing without flood insurance. This creates significant uncertainty over whether coverage will be available and if sufficient FEMA funds will be accessible to pay claims after a flood. While NFIP cannot issue new and renewal policies, existing policies remain active, include a 30-day grace period, and can be transferred to new owners. Research from the National Association of Realtors found that during a recent extended lapse, as many as 40,000 transactions per month were stalled or canceled. Read more at REALTOR® Magazine.
