MLSMLS RULE: Report Offer Statuses Within 24 HoursSection 4.15 Contingencies Applicable to Listings-Reporting of Offer Statuses reads, in part: All Offer Status changes … shall be specified and reported to the MLS … within 24 hours (excepting weekends, holidays, and postal holidays)…. Listings that include a provision that such disclosures may not be made through MLS, even if directed by the seller, are ineligible for inclusion in MLS. Listings stating such a restriction will not be accepted, and if amended with such restrictions after filing, listing will be withdrawn by MLS. When all contingencies to the Accepted Offer have been met, the listing should be placed in the Pending status until it closes. Days on Market is calculated from the List Date to the Pending Date. NAR & DOJ Settlement on MLS PoliciesThe National Association of REALTORS (NAR) recently advised members of a lawsuit filed by the Department of Justice against NAR over certain MLS policies; a settlement was subsequently reached by both parties. NAR President Charlie Oppler and NAR General Counsel Katie Johnson issued a statement regarding the settlement. The intro to the statement follows. MLS Policy Changes Approved by NAR - Effective Early 2021NAR's Board of Directors approved eight recommendations (unrelated to the DOJ settlement) on November 13th aimed at bringing more consistent standards to REALTOR®-owned MLSs across the country regardless of size. The recommendations strengthen accountability on the part of both MLSs and their Participants (broker members) and subscribers (agents or brokers affiliated with a participant) in four areas: Compliance, Data, Governance and Services. Under NAR policy, Participants are required to submit accurate listing data and correct known errors. The new standards emphasize this obligation and outline specific administrative and other enforcement procedures of MLS Rules regarding data accuracy, as well as cooperation. Realtor.com COVID-19 Housing Market UpdateClick HERE for the Housing Market Recovery Index (Updated Weekly) How the Pending Status Affects Your DOMDOM (Days on Market) for RANW MLS listings is calculated from the List Date to the Pending Date, which would be the date any/all contingencies to an accepted offer have been met, and the listing is no longer taking offers (see definition from MLS Rules below). The status change from an Active status to the Pending status must, by MLS Rules, be submitted to MLS or entered into LIM immediately upon occurrence. When a listing is put into the Pending status, the clock stops on the DOM calculation. If something were to happen at that last minute that caused the sale to fall through, the listing can be brought back to Active and the time spent in the Pending status would not be counted in the DOM.
