Coming soon
A listing status showing a home will hit the market soon but isn't taking showings yet. It builds interest before the official launch.
Your Room opens on showings and offers, with everything before the listing already ticked.

Why a seller cares
Coming soon builds interest for a week or two before showings open, without starting the days-on-market clock in most MLSs. It works when the photos and the prep are finished; it is a promise, and buyers remember an unkept one.

A simple example
Your agent posts the listing as coming soon on Monday with the finished photos. Showings open Friday, and six are booked before the door opens.
| What happens | What coming soon does |
|---|---|
| Buyers save the listing all week | Interest banked before the first showing |
| An agent asks for an early showing | Usually declined; the rules are strict about it |
| The prep is not done by Friday | A launch that disappoints the people who waited |
Coming soon buys a week of attention. It only pays if the launch is ready.

What people get wrong
That coming soon means offers can come in. In most markets no showings means no offers until the listing goes active.
