On March 23, 2026, the HRIS Board of Directors approved a new feature that will give listing agents and their sellers the option to display Coming Soon listings on HAR.com, IDX websites and portals. This will give members and their clients more flexibility while still following MLS rules. It is currently in development. We will share more details soon.
The Matrix “Coming Soon” status is for use when a listing is under a valid listing agreement but not yet ready for showings (repairs, photos, staging, etc.):
- Listings can stay in “Coming Soon” for up to 21 days and may be made Active by the listing agent at any time during those 21 days.
- Listing agents have the option to display their “Coming Soon” listings to consumers on HAR.com
- The listing will automatically go to “Active” status if the listing agent does not make it Active within 21 days.
- Showings are NOT allowed while in the “Coming Soon” status; if it’s ready to show it should be in Active status.
- You may place a “Coming Soon” sign on the property if it is listed in Matrix as either Coming Soon or Active within one business day. (NAR MLS Policy 8.0 requirement)
- Days on Market (DOM) does not count or accumulate during “Coming Soon” status.
- All “Coming Soon” listings are available to MLS subscribers in Matrix search, emails and on the HAR.com agent app.
- Photos are not required but can be added to “Coming Soon” listings.
- Before you can save a listing as “Coming Soon” you must first fill in all required fields and save the listings as “Incomplete”.
