Boston MLS Status Codes

If you have taken the opportunity to sign up for email property updates from the Boston MLS (giving you access to address information, taxes, and other pertinent property details not readily available in generic MLS access levels), you have probably seen the various three letter codes that are used to designate the status of a listing in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) system – ACT, PCG, etc.

We’ve received several inquiries lately as to what each code stands for, and wanted to provide a quick punch list with this information for your reference.

NEW: New*
PCG: Price Change*
BOM: Back on Market*
EXT: Extended*
RAC: Re-activated*
WDN: Withdrawn (temporarily)

* reverts to Active status after 3 days

UAG: Under Agreement
SLD: Sold
EXP: Expired
CAN: Canceled
