This year’s Forms Change went into effect on August 3rd, 2011. One of the important changes this year is that the Year Built Description field is now required for Residential listings only. The addition of this requirement will help us report on new home sales versus existing home sales statistics.
With the different options available to select for the Year Built Description field, we thought a refresher on what the different terms mean may be beneficial to subscribers. Here is a list of the available terms and their meaning:
APPROX: Approximately – Year Built indicates the approximate year in which the home was built.
FIXER: Fixer – Needs Repair.
NEW: New – Construction completed, but home has never been occupied.
PROPOSD: Proposed – Not yet under construction.
REGHIST: Home is on the Register of Historic Homes.
REMOD: Remodeled – Some or all of the home has been remodeled.
RESALE: Resale – Existing home for sale.
RESTORD: Restored – Homes restored to original condition.
UNDERCON: Under Construction – Ground broken and construction actually under way.
UNKNOWN: Unknown due to loss of county records.
