FINN have since 2019 worked to renew ads within the new construction segment, with launching Coming for sale as an example.
IN 2021-22 we will updated Projects for sale-ads to support new design, new components and a new business model. This will cause some changes related to import and new versions of the DTD's that must be adapted by all third party systems using import to publish ads on FINN Real Estate.
ALL DTD's for FINN.no can be found here

New construction - Ad lifecycle
On the right hand side we have added a PDF dokument presenting the ad life cycle of new contruction ads.
This document provides an overview on the New construction ad lifecycle, and how that relates
to the commands available for the 3rd party systems to interact with the ads.
Ad Lifecycle
Subscription Model
New construction follows a subscription model where every ad type is renewed (and billed)
every 30 days.
