If I pause my listing, can I unpause it later? How much listing time will I have remaining?
When selling a home, there might be times when you need to temporarily pause your listing. This could be due to factors like vacations, home repairs, or other personal reasons. Fortunately, MLS (Multiple Listing Service) systems offer a feature that allows listing agents to put your listing on hold during these periods.
Important Considerations for Temporary Holds:
- MLS Time Limits: Each MLS has its own rules regarding how long a listing can be paused. It's crucial to consult your local MLS or listing agent to understand their specific policies.
- Listing Expiration: You cannot pause your listing indefinitely. If no changes are made to the listing by its expiration date, the MLS will automatically deactivate it.
- Total Listing Duration: Pausing your listing does not extend the overall time it's considered "on the market." For instance, if you list your home for 6 months and pause it for a month, it will still be counted as a 6-month listing.
