I have this house under contract and am looking to get it listed on the MLS. Is that allowed?

Yes, a property that is already under contract can still be listed on the MLS, provided certain conditions are met.

If the contract allows continued marketing, the listing can be entered into the MLS with an appropriate status such as “Active Under Contract,” “Pending,” or “Contingent,” depending on local MLS rules. This indicates that an offer has been accepted, but the sale has not yet closed and may still be subject to contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal, etc.).

It’s important to note that MLS rules vary by region, and some MLSs may restrict new listings once a binding contract is in place. Your listing agent will review the terms of your contract and your local MLS guidelines to ensure the property is listed correctly and compliantly.

Always make sure the buyer is aware that the property will be listed, and that doing so does not violate the signed purchase agreement.
