[quote=FormerSanDiegan]Sometimes a smallish, e.g. 1/2 point, increase in rates can create a sense of urgency to buy now versus later (short-term phenomenon) [/quote]

You see this when the FED is acting.. the punch is telegraphed on the news nightly and the masses confuse fed rates with mortgage interest rates so they rush and lock before the rates go up.

But when the bond market spikes and rate sheets go up with no notice.. the horse is already out of the barn and people who could have had 4.75% but wanted 4.5% are left out in the cold.

[quote=mattgoyer]Hi XBoxBoy,

We believe Sandicor implemented some changes in the last week or two that increased the number of these “agent only” listings that can’t be displayed on sites like Redfin or SDLookup. Before posting anything more we’re digging into it a bit deeper. When we hear something I’ll let you know.

I don’t want to be mysterious or anything but since I prefer to remain anon I will have to be. I know a particular MLS in CA that has implemented a flag for allowing not publishing listings to “Virtual Office Websites” in response to some NAR/DOJ settlement or some such thing. There was a log in message regarding this when you log into the MLS.

He owns a few other properties. I’m guessing this isn’t the last one of these we see.
