Showing Start Date replaced by Coming Soon

USE ACTIVE ON MLS DATE FOR COMING SOON STATUS TO DELAY SHOWINGS. PLEASE READ ENTIRE PAGE.

Per recent policy change, Showing Start Date is being replaced by Coming Soon on March 1. To aid in this transition, Showing Start Date has been hidden, and Active on MLS date for Coming Soon status should be used to delay showings effective immediately.


TO DELAY SHOWINGS FOR LISTINGS ENTERED BEFORE MARCH 1:

New listings:

  • Enter Showing Start Date as the same as Listing Entry (List) Date. Showing Start Date has been removed from Add/Edit. Use Coming Soon status for delayed showings.
  • Select the Coming Soon status.
  • Enter the date showings will be available in the Active on MLS field.

Current listings:

  • Showings are not allowed until both of the following dates have passed:
    • the Showing Start Date originally entered at the time of listing which is displayed on the MLS reports until March 1.
    • the Active on MLS date for Coming Soon listing status.
  • Listings in the Coming Soon status can be made active early by clicking “End Coming Soon” on Add/Edit but the Showing Start Date cannot be moved to an earlier date.

If you are unsure where you can update the status to Coming Soon, you can see it above. Mind the Active on MLS Date.

For questions, please contact MLS Tech Support.


AFTER MARCH 1:

  • COMING SOON MUST BE PUT IN AT THE TIME OF LISTING.
  • The Active on MLS date will be able to be moved earlier – or further into the future.
  • Days on Market will not accumulate during the Coming Soon period.
  • Advertising will be allowed.
  • Showings of any kind will not be allowed before the Active on MLS date.
  • The End Coming Soon button can be used to make the listing Active prior to the Active on MLS date.
  • Coming Soon status listings will be included in Subscription Auto-emails. (This means that emails will go out.)
  • Showing Start Date will be completely removed from MLS reports and search.
