How do I set my property listing to 'Coming Soon' on the MLS?

According to the NAR (National Association of Realtors), a house with a “coming soon” status isn’t for sale but should be on the market within 30 days. Ideally, the property should not be shown or be accessible to buyers during this period. Listing agents might use “coming soon” real estate listings for reasons that include accelerating the selling process and supporting their clients as they prepare their homes for sale.

Please note: The availability of the “Coming Soon” option varies by MLS. If your MLS supports this feature, you can certainly use it. To confirm whether your MLS allows the “Coming Soon” option, please contact your assigned listing agent.

Additionally, to use the “Coming Soon” feature, your listing status must be set to Listing Docs Pending (LDP).
