Wildfire preparedness isn't just about protecting homes—it's becoming a key factor in insurability, property value, and real estate transactions.

As insurance companies take a closer look at wildfire risk, REALTORS® and homeowners need to understand how defensible space, home hardening, and community preparedness can impact coverage options and costs. Being proactive today can help avoid surprises tomorrow.

“Coming Soon” isn’t delayed marketing — and sellers deserve to know the difference.

The new NAR policy gives sellers more control over how their home is marketed, but it doesn’t mean listings disappear from the MLS. Delayed marketing allows agents to share listings within the MLS while temporarily limiting IDX and portal exposure, giving sellers more flexibility without sacrificing cooperation. 🏡

At CAAR, we believe informed sellers make better decisions. Before choosing a coming soon, office exclusive, or delayed marketing strategy, understand what each option means for exposure, buyer reach, and your bottom line.

Living in Rim Country means living with the beauty of the forest — but it also means preparing for wildfire risk. 🌲🔥

Firewise practices are a great start, but true protection goes further with home hardening strategies that help defend homes against embers, radiant heat, and fast-moving fires. From defensible space to fire-resistant building materials, proactive steps today can make a major difference tomorrow.

Learn why wildfire preparedness is becoming more important for homeowners, insurance, and our communities across Rim Country.
