What will be MORE interesting is the third party providers. In all honesty this should throw a total wrench in the user interfaces they provide however I bet none of them change a thing. They will more then likely keep the IDX feeds as they are so that the contingent category simply feeds into Active status. However you never know!
I was pretty surprised when I read my email as well. I needed to read it several times before I believed it.
If anything I think this will help buyers realize how challenging things are and how it may be better to pass on things for now.
