The NTREIS Board of Directors has approved rule modifications allowing sellers to direct their agents to permit showings while a property is in Coming Soon status. After 30 days, listings in Coming Soon will automatically move to Active unless the agent updates the status sooner.
The updates align with recent NAR MLS policy changes under the Delayed Exempt Marketing Listing (DEML) option, giving sellers more flexibility in marketing. Coming Soon listings will not appear in public data feeds and will not accrue days on market.
Implementation is targeted for Sept. 30, pending vendor updates and testing. Key changes include:
- Required showing instructions for all Coming Soon listings
- A new mandatory field for Showings Y/N
- Automatic status change to Active after 30 days
Inclusion in data feeds to showing services when showings are allowed
