As of May 30, 2016, when you load a listing located in Oakville, Milton or Halton Hills into Fusion, you will now find all the four-digit neighbourhood codes that correspond to the codes already used in Matrix. When you use these codes, your listings will no longer appear as “Out of Town – 9999” listings when they are uploaded to Matrix and RAHB staff will no longer need to manually produce a duplicate listing to place your listing in the correct neighbourhood. Your listing will be in the right neighbourhood for all to find.
The neighbourhood codes for Cambridge, Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo will also be added to Fusion in the near future. The Oakville/Milton/Halton Hills codes were added first because the majority of the “out of area” listings were in these areas.
If you aren’t sure of the correct neighbourhood code for your listing in Oakville, Milton or Halton Hills, you will find all the codes on the map found in Fusion in Resources > RAHB Documents > Oakville, Milton, Halton Hills Neighbourhoods. As the codes for the Cambridge, Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo associations are added to Fusion, maps for those areas will be added to the same Resources section in Fusion.
RAHB staff will be correcting the existing active Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills listings to show the correct neighbourhood code. This correction will generate an auto-email if your search criteria includes those neighbourhood codes, even if an auto-email was previously sent based on the duplicate listing. This will affect only listings that are currently active in the Oakville, Milton and Halton Hills areas.
