We "normalized" the statuses, which for now means fewer statuses for the time being. Previously, we simply mirrored whatever the broker's status was. But this came with bad side effects that made the status filter inconsistent, with different brokers using different terminology, or omitting relevant statuses. So previously, if you wanted to isolate, "new" listings, or "price reduced" listings you'd only be able to do so if the broker included that status. We now use our own data to reflect the key statuses, like "new", "price reduced", "stripped", etc. The side effect in the short term is fewer statuses. But we will be adding some of the lost statuses back, again, but normalized this time, so that the experience and reliability of your saved searches is perfect. Example statuses that we're adding back "Aul subsidized dues", "Guaranteed Week", "Non-negotiable pricing", "seller pays dues" among others.
Why this matters: Well, for one thing, "price reduced" can be leveraged by deal hunters in a way it couldn't before. You can now reliably set up a filter for "price reduced" that will alert you as soon as a contract is reduced. These are often the best deals on the market, and missed by the average user. You'll also notice that we added price history to the listings. If you look at a "price reduced" listing you'll see when it was reduced, and from what.
