You\u2019ll find that even if a home is listed as \u201cactive,\u201d its status likely includes another status to indicate where the home is in the process of being listed and sold. It may all sounds confusing, but it doesn&#8217;t have to be.<\/p>\n<p>In this Redfin article, we&#8217;ll tell you what active status means in real estate listings. Whether you&#8217;re buying a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/14240\/AZ\/Phoenix\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">home in Phoenix, AZ,<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/city\/1826\/MA\/Boston\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">Boston, MA<\/a>, learn\u00a0how to interpret different types of \u201cactive\u201d home statuses and what they mean about the home\u2019s availability or lack thereof.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h2><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-85173\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska.jpg\" alt=\"large craftsman style home surrounded by trees\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-945x630.jpg 945w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Jumbo-Loans-Alaska-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"heading-large margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">What does it mean when a house is active?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Most of the properties listed in the multiple listing service (MLS), the database where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/real-estate-agents\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">real estate agents<\/a> list homes for sale, will have an active status. That\u2019s because an active status means that the home is currently available for sale. However, there are several types of active statuses, and their usage and definitions can vary by market. Your real estate agent can help you interpret the various types of active statuses in your market, but to get started, here are some definitions of the most common active statuses:<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active contingent<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">If you see a property with an \u201cactive contingent\u201d status, it means that the seller has received an offer from a potential buyer, but there are conditions that the buyer must meet before the sale may be finalized. That may mean the buyer must be approved for financing and get their <a href=\"https:\/\/bayequityhomeloans.com\/\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external noopener noreferrer\">mortgage<\/a> or a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/guides\/home-inspection\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">home inspection<\/a> must be completed. The contingent status is removed once these conditions are met. In some areas, the active contingent status is also used when the buyer must sell their current property before purchasing another home. In other areas, different statuses are used for this scenario, such as active with contingencies, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-is-a-bumpable-buyer\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">bumpable<\/a>, bump clause, active kick-out, or active &#8211; first right.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active &#8211; first right<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">When you see a property listed with \u201cactive \u2013 first right\u201d status, it means that the seller has a prior agreement with a prospective buyer. This buyer has an opportunity to match any subsequent offers. As mentioned above, \u201cactive \u2013 first right\u201d may also indicate that the buyer must sell their current property before purchasing the home in question.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-85902\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping.jpg\" alt=\"spacious backyard with concrete steps\" width=\"1200\" height=\"799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-225x150.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-946x630.jpg 946w, https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/backyard-landscaping-451x300.jpg 451w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active kick-out<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">The \u201cactive kick-out\u201d status is another term used to indicate that the seller has accepted an offer, but the sale is contingent on the buyer being able to sell his or her current property before proceeding with the sale. The \u201ckick-out\u201d part of the status means that the seller can continue to market the home. And depending on the terms of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-is-a-kick-out-clause\/\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">\u201ckick out\u201d clause<\/a>, if they find another qualified buyer, the seller can actually kick the first buyer out of the contract for failing to move forward with the purchase process within a defined period of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active &#8211; no-show<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">An \u201cactive \u2013 no-show\u201d status indicates that the property is currently available for sale. However, the seller has specified that the property may not be toured during specific time periods.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active option contract<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">When you see the \u201cactive option contract\u201d status, it indicates that the seller has accepted an offer, but it falls within the option period. That means that the buyer has a specified number of days to have the property inspected. In some areas, an active option contract is called a contingency period or due diligence period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3 class=\"heading-medium margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">Active with contingencies<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">The \u201cactive with contingencies\u201d status means that the seller has accepted an offer from a buyer, but the buyer must meet certain conditions before the sale may proceed. Similar to the active contingent status, this status is commonly used when the buyer must sell their current property before purchasing the home. This may be called \u201cactive CAPA\u201d in some areas, which means \u201ccan pursue purchase agreement.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"margin-vert-medium text-left text-and-disclaimer-flyout\">When you\u2019re searching for a new home, you\u2019ll want to look for homes with an active status. However, you might find the home of your dreams with one of the above status designations. If you&#8217;ve fallen in love with a home that is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redfin.com\/blog\/what-is-contingent-vs-pending\" data-wpel-link=\"exclude\">contingent or pending<\/a>, you should get in touch with a\u00a0real estate agent\u00a0right away to explore your options for making an offer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean when a house is active?
