No Showings = 0% Chance of Selling

Home Sellers who don’t want to accommodate showings over the holidays — or any other time that’s inconvenient — can elect to switch their home’s status to “TNAS,” or “Temporarily Not Available for Showing.”

While the “For Sale” sign in front will typically stay put, the home no longer shows “Active” on MLS, effectively putting the kibosh on showing requests.

So, how many formerly active homes are “on ice” over the holidays?

At least in MLS area #300, near the City Lakes, fewer than you might imagine.

Specifically, out of 144 single family homes currently on the market, only 11 — less than 8% — were TNAS.

You’d certainly guess that none of the latter were vacant.
