MLS
Posted on March 31, 2025

We are continually listening to your feedback to ensure our policies best support your business needs while maintaining compliance and transparency within the MLS. Based on your valuable input, changes have been made to our Coming Soon policy to provide more clarity and flexibility.

MLS Rule Section 10.1.1 Coming Soon Listings.

It shall be the responsibility of the Broker Participant (Section 4.1.1) and Real Estate Subscriber (Section 4.2.1) to follow said rules when placing a property in the Coming Soon section of the multiple listings service (MLS). Broker Participant and Real Estate Subscriber shall only place a property in the Coming Soon section of the MLS if the Participant/Subscriber has met the necessary criteria for MLS input as described in Sections 7.5, 7.6, and 8.1.

1. It is optional to place your listing into the Coming Soon Status.

2. Listing agent must have a signed written listing agreement in place to enter a “Coming Soon” listing which explains the limitations of the “Coming Soon” status.

3. Coming Soon listings will be viewable to all MLS Participants.

4. Coming Soon listings will not be syndicated unless approved by MMG.

5. Coming Soon listings will not be included in the IDX and data feeds.

6. Coming Soon listings are not allowed to be placed into open house or broker tour modules with MLS. .

7. Coming Soon listings are only searchable within the Paragon MLS.

8. Once a listing has been moved from Coming Soon to Active status by the agent, it cannot revert to Coming Soon with that same broker.

9. Days on Market (DOM) re-sets when the status is changed to New/Active.

10. Agent showing is allowed.

11. Once Coming Soon status is entered, public marketing is allowed.

12. Allow Coming Soon data to be in Broker back-office feeds (no front-facing data component) (Brokerages own data only)

13. Photos are optional.
