LISTING HOME UNDER CONTRACT

[tmoney]

Put in a offer on a home a couple weeks ago.Offer was accepted and contact was signed . Home was immediately taken off market. After a few days home started to become listed as active on various real estate websites. Is this the norm for homes under contact . can they continue to market homes under contact ?

Listing as active definitely seems wrong. More common would be to list as "pending." This could just be something as simple as a data entry error, though. I'd have your broker ping the listing broker/agent about it.

seems odd. I would bet it is a mistake. MLS and serach engines that pull data from it always gets screwy. The house we just closed on has many errors on the recent data pull.

...I find sites like Trulia and Zillow are often as much as 2 weeks behind on updates ...best thing I've seen is to get a realtor to give you automated updates daily from MLS using your criteria as filters ...but even then you'll find errors ...its a data driven system and only as good as the data entry ...garbage in, garbage out
