You rely on accurate data to serve your clients. When listing data is manipulated, it affects data integrity and causes serious issues for everyone who relies on listing data to run their business, including you and your peers. Expiring and re-entering listings is a manipulation of REcolorado Matrix data and a violation of REcolorado MLS Policy.

What is the rule?

According to the Listing Period Rule (Section 1.5), “The listing period will begin when the listing is made Active and will continue until the listing is in an off-market status. This will be referred to as Days In MLS. If the listing broker and/or listing office expires and enters the same property within 30 days, a violation of the MLS rules will occur, and an immediate $100 fine will be assessed.”

Why Can’t I Expire and Relist?

Expiring and re-entering listings is a manipulation of REcolorado Matrix data and a violation of the MLS Policy. One of the reasons MLS organizations, including REcolorado, have policies is to make sure we all have access to accurate data, which is key to serving your clients. Accurate data includes how long the property has been in the MLS.

Pro Tip: If you want to pause Days in MLS, consider changing the listing status to Withdrawn. Review the Lifecycle of a Listing >>

What happens if I expire a listing and re-enter it immediately?

If the listing broker or listing office Expires and enters the same property within 30 days, it constitutes a violation of the MLS Policy and an immediate $100 fine will be assessed.
