When do the Days Active in MLS (DAM) for a listing start accumulating?
Days Active in MLS (“DAM”) measures the number of days a property is listed as Active or Active Under Contract in the MLS. DAM starts accruing once a listing first enters either of these statuses.
Do I need to enter a New Construction Listing (NCL) within 1 business day of public marketing?
Yes. However, an NCL is not subject to the 21-day limit and can be listed as Coming Soon until the appropriate body issues a certificate of occupancy.
Can a listing go from Coming Soon to Pending or Active Under Contract?
Yes. While a listing is in Coming Soon status, buyers may present offers and sellers may accept them.
What is the effective list date of a listing agreement?
The effective date of the listing agreement is either:
The beginning date of the agreement, OR
The last date on which all necessary signatures were obtained, whichever is LATER.
What do I do if the seller excludes the listing from the MLS for the entire listing agreement period?
You must enter the listing as Registered in the MLS within two (2) days of the effective date. If you plan to exclude the listing for the entire agreement period, then leave the Start Marketing Date field blank.
