The National Association of REALTORS® has introduced a new MLS policy, "Multiple Listing Options for Sellers," effective March 25, 2025, with full implementation by September 30, 2025.
Key points:
Sellers can now choose a "delayed marketing exempt listing" to temporarily hold off public marketing (IDX/syndication) while still sharing the listing within the MLS.
Each MLS can set the allowed delay period.
Sellers must sign a disclosure acknowledging their choice.
One-to-one broker communications won’t trigger Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) rules, but broader marketing still will.
The new policy complements, not replaces, existing CCP rules.
