Change Listing - Status
To change the status of a listing, start on the Change Listing page. To go to the page, click Change Listing under Add/Change on the menu. Then enter an MLS number or click on a listing in the My Listings section of the page.
Click the applicable link in the Status section of the Change Listing page. The available statuses are based on the current status of the listing and the permissions of the person making the change. Status change rules vary per MLS. Commonly, off-market listings can be changed only by MLS staff.
Note
The Current Status button only allows manipulating certain MLS-determined details and does not allow changing the status or manipulating contingencies. When a listing is in an “Active” status, the Current Status (Active) button on the Change Listing page will be moved to the bottom of the list of status buttons on the change listing page.
On the status change page, fill in the necessary information and click Save. Verify that all information is correct and click Save again to return to the Change Listing page.
Note
Listing data fields vary depending on your MLS. For questions about a specific field that your MLS uses, please contact the MLS.
Status Change Options
The following Status options are commonly available on the Change Listing page, depending on the listing's current status. Individual option names may differ in your MLS. If a particular option or status is unavailable to you, please contact your MLS.
Option | Description |

Add Contingency | Change to an Active with Contingency status (such as Active Under Contract). This option will show if the listing status is not currently contingent. |
