Do you convert to UTC before storing? Store a tz with the listing? Leave as is?\r\n\r\nWhile it's best to store datetimes as UTC, open houses are an interesting problem. \r\n\r\nThanks!!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/estately/rets/issues/comments/197123048","html_url":"https://github.com/estately/rets/issues/177#issuecomment-197123048","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/estately/rets/issues/177","id":197123048,"user":{"login":"summera","id":2474416,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2474416?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera","html_url":"https://github.com/summera","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/summera/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-16T02:44:05Z","updated_at":"2016-03-16T02:44:05Z","body":"Thanks for the info! Much appreciated :smile: . We have settled on a similar approach... storing as is.\r\n\r\nIf, as you said, there is no need to search by time or show an open house time in a different timezone, then might as well save yourself the complexity and store as is.\r\n\r\n@timdorr Unfortunately, you can't rely on an mls offset all the time because the mls may span multiple timezones and, as I recently noticed, the tz offset that an mls may advertise does not correct for DST."}}
