How a quiet CRMLS rule change may impact buyers' ability to research comps

Starting February 17, buyers in CRMLS markets will lose access to one of the most important tools for understanding how homes actually sell: the ability to see interior photos of comparable properties once they close. This quiet adjustment limits IDX feeds used by consumer-facing portals reaching hundreds of millions of users monthly to a single primary photo, typically the exterior, for closed listings. Full photo sets remain available inside professional MLS systems.
