Guide to MLS Listing Statuses
What do I Need to Know about MLS Listing Statuses?
Active – The listing is available for sale or lease and no offers (with or without contingencies) have been accepted. A listing in the “Active” status must be available for showings within a reasonable period of time (which generally means within five business days) after the listing has been placed in the Active status. This is an on-market status, and Days on Market (“DOM”) will accumulate.
Active T/C – The listing is under contract with an accepted offer, but a “Time Clause” addendum is in place and the buyer and seller agree that the property is to remain on-market so that additional offers may be solicited. This is an on-market status and DOM will accumulate.
Backup – The seller has accepted an offer on the listing, but the seller requests that the property remain on-market to solicit additional, back-up offers. This is an on-market status and DOM will accumulate.
Under Contract – The listing is under contract with an accepted offer. This is an off-market status and DOM will not accumulate.
Active – No Show (Formerly Off Market) – The listing is temporarily not available for showings per the seller’s request. However, a valid listing agreement is in effect. Please note, when in the Active – No Show status, DOM will not accumulate, photos are not required, and the listing will not be visible on UtahRealEstate.com or any IDX or syndication websites.
Withdrawn – A valid listing agreement is in effect; however, the seller and listing broker have agreed to withdraw the listing from being marketed through the MLS.
Canceled – The listing agreement has been terminated prior to the expiration date specified in the listing agreement.
Expired – The termination date of the listing agreement has passed, and a valid listing agreement for this listing is no longer in effect.
Sold – The listing has sold and title to the property has transferred from the seller to the buyer.
Leased – The listing has been leased.
