A canceled status on a multiple listing service (MLS) means that the listing agreement between the seller and the listing agent has been cancelled:
- The property is no longer available for showings 🏡
- The relationship between the seller and the listing agent ends 🙅🏼♀️
- The listing will not show up as expired in the future 👍🏼
- Also, the seller is free to relist the property with another broker 🏠
📜 To relist the property, the seller will need to get a new listing agreement with the broker.
A canceled listing differs from a withdrawn listing, so the listing contract is still in effect, but the property is not being marketed. A withdrawn listing can be for many reasons, including:
- The seller changed their mind 🤷🏼♂️
- The seller wants to make improvements to the home 🔨🔦
- Also, the seller may want a break from showing the home 😪
More About a Cancelled Listing
❎ When a real estate listing is cancelled, it means that the property which was previously available for sale is no longer on the market.
This could be because of a variety of reasons – the owner may have decided not to sell, the agreement with the real estate agent may have ended, or the property may have been taken off the market for improvements or repairs.
🚫 The cancellation implies that the property is no longer actively seeking potential buyers.
👩🏼Libby Says…
In my experience, the home seller may have unrealistic expectations about selling their home. They may expect more money than the home is worth. They may think the property will sell quickly without doing any repairs, staging or preparing the home for the market.
Having an agent that is honest with the seller is paramount to a fast sale for the most amount of money. I help sellers manage their expectations and have realistic goals for the sale of their property.
If you want honest advice about selling your home, give me a call right away. 🤙🏼
