We are pleased to announce a valuable enhancement to the MLS, a brand new status: Sold Off MLS.
What is “Sold Off MLS”?
This new status allows agents to report properties that were closed/sold outside of the MLS. Meaning, at the seller’s request, the property was never entered into the MLS prior to the sale.
Why This Matters?
Adding this status helps strengthen our MLS data and better support you and the marketplace. The Sold Off MLS status will:
- Ensure agents receive proper production credit
- Strengthen comparable sales data for appraisals and CMAs
- Maintain accurate and complete market statistics
This is an important step toward capturing a more comprehensive view of our local market activity.
When inputting a new listing onto the MLS, you will see three choices in the Status field:
- New
- Active – Coming Soon
- Sold Off-MLS
Important Reminder
This status is strictly for reporting completed sold transactions that were not previously listed in the MLS.
Before submitting the listing, you must enter: “FOR COMPS ONLY” in the Confidential Remarks field.
Listings that were not input into the MLS as a result of the seller’s instructions may be input into the MLS “Sold off Market” data at the listing broker’s option within 30 days after the closing date.
You may also search for listings with this Status.

Thank you for your continued partnership in keeping our MLS data accurate, complete, and valuable to the entire membership.
