When searching for homes in the Tucson Multiple Listing Service (MLS) it is important to look at the status of the property and know the status definitions.
So many times the status of a property is overlooked and people spend tons of time looking at homes that are under contract not knowing the home is pending sale.
When searching for homes make sure you look at the “status” of a property to make sure it is “Active.” Anything other than “Active” means there is an offer on the property. Just because there is an offer does not mean the seller will consider other offers.
So knowing the Tucson Association Of Realtors Multiple Listing Service Status Definitions is important.
