As the transition to a single province-wide MLS® system continues, many boards and associations have made the move to PropTx or are in the final stages of doing so.

As part of the PropTx phase two rollout (date to be determined), we are excited to introduce additional square footage data fields to enhance the platform’s functionality. 

LSTAR has observed that some square footage ranges in property listings may have been submitted incorrectly. As a friendly reminder, the square footage range should accurately reflect the approximate interior dimensions of the property above grade.
