As the spring market began approaching BRIGHT MLS heard that many subscribers had placed their listings in the Withdrawn status due to misinformation that the listing’s DOM/CDOM would reset on the 61st day. BRIGHT understands that subscribers were preparing to put these homes back on the market with the intent of resetting the DOM/CDOM.

To reset the DOM/CDOM, enter a new listing. On February 11th, BRIGHT made a temporary change that allows DOM/CDOM on newly entered listings to reset, where the previous listing was:

* Withdrawn
* Withdrawn and changed to Expired
* Withdrawn and changed to Cancelled

The temporary change is only for existing listings that were put in these statuses while in the BRIGHT system since October 1st, 2018. This will remain in effect until April 30th, 2019.

After April 30th, the DOM/CDOM will only reset when the previous listing is Closed, or on the 61st day after it was Expired or put in the Cancelled status, as these are the only true final state statuses within BRIGHT.

Please note: BRIGHT subscribers need to enter a new listing to reset the DOM/CDOM. If you are putting your currently Withdrawn listing back to Active for the same MLS number, the DOM/CDOM will not reset. It will resume as appropriate for that individual listing.

Please note that all BRIGHT inquiries must be sent directly to BRIGHT MLS Support via 1-844-552-7444.

Legislation that would create a First-Time Homebuyers Savings Account Program in Pennsylvania was recently introduced in the state House. The program would allow Pennsylvanians to save money toward the purchase of a home, and the money saved would qualify as a tax deduction for their state income tax. Parents and grandparents would be eligible to save for children and grandchildren.
