MLSLI Question

If a house just disappears from the site, does that mean it was taken off the market or could it mean it is under contract? I know it hasn't been sold yet. Is there another site where you can see if a house is under contract?

Re: MLSLI Question

could mean either of those...you can check redfin.com using the mls number. If its in contract its noted as "sale pending"

Re: MLSLI Question

I know when we were under contract, the listing was pulled off mlsli. When we were in the process of obtaining a contract with the property, it said on the listing -contract pending- or -in contract-. We've seen houses get pulled of mlsli and get relisted within a matter of days because 1) sellers pulled house of market indefinately 2) sellers relisted with another agent 3) sellers pulled house off market and put it back on and obtained another mls # to make it appear as a "newer listing".

Re: MLSLI Question

Thanks! Looks like it was pulled off the market and put back on. I guess MLSLI just hasn't updated yet.

Re: MLSLI Question

It can be one of a few things -- if you had a question about a specific house, I could look it up for you on MLS. Realtors can see what the status is...

It could be:

1) The listing expired:

2) The seller withdrew the listing (took the house off the market);

3) The house went under contract.

Often when a listing expires, it will come out again as a new listing (either with the same agent or a new agent).

But it is against MLS rules to withdraw a listing before it expires and then put it out again as "new." There is a status "BOM" -- back on the market -- so when a contract falls through or a seller withrdaws a listing and then puts it back on the market within the same original listing period, it usually shows as "back on the market."
