What is the difference between contingent and pending?
A contingent home means the seller has accepted an offer, but certain conditions still need to be met before the sale can close. Common contingencies include financing, inspections, appraisal, or the buyer selling their current home.
A pending home means most or all contingencies have been satisfied and the transaction is much closer to closing. While backup offers are sometimes accepted, pending homes are generally further along in the process than contingent properties.
What does “active under contract” mean?
Active Under Contract means the seller has accepted an offer, but the property is still being shown and may accept backup offers.
This status often appears during inspection periods or while contingencies are being completed. Buyers may still have opportunities to submit backup contracts in case the current deal falls through.
How often is the MLS updated?
Our MLS listings are updated frequently throughout the day, giving buyers access to the latest homes for sale, price changes, status updates, pending sales, and recently sold properties.
