How MLS Feature Flags and Property Codes Diverge

Can a single MLS flag reproduce a property-form search?

Short answer: No. The sample has 52 FLTHOME records but 41 of those are marked Floating Home Y, while all 139 IN-PARK records are Manufactured Y and the 19 RES-MFG records are not Manufactured Y. The fields are not interchangeable.

Chart method: horizontal bar length is the labeled record count; categories are the table rows and the chart uses a zero baseline.

What this can help you do

Use the exact search field needed for the question, then inspect what it includes. An MLS flag can help identify candidates, but this export does not define field semantics, verify permits, establish rent or savings, or measure a price premium.

Method and limits

Cross-tabs inspected: FLTHOME with Floating Home Y = 41 of 52; IN-PARK with Manufactured Y = 139 of 139; RES-MFG with Manufactured Y = 0 of 19. ADU Y = 8, Green/Energy Y = 398, and each listed flag has 19 blanks. Blanks remain unknown. Asking-price calculations include the 1,994 positive numeric List Price values and exclude six literal AUCTION values. The export has no sale-price, days-on-market, size, or condition field. Tran is not interpreted as timing. Medians appear only for groups with at least 25 numeric prices; this display threshold is not a statistical guarantee.
