What it Means For Competing Homes
As Realtors if not the general public know, the MLS status “TNAS” — short for “Temporarily Not Available For Showing” — has a catch-all status, covering everything from an unexpected home repair, to the Seller having out-of-town company, to someone in the household being sick.
Which is why it can be important to nail down exactly which variant applies.
Exhibit A: a Realtor who’s about to price a new listing (OK, me), and sees that a very similar nearby property just went from “Active” to “TNAS.”
Two Scenarios
If there’s a deal — especially if the home just listed and there’s little nearby competition — that can be a green light to price more aggressively.
However, if there’s a more prosaic reason, better not to push the envelope.
Fortunately, I knew the listing agent, who told me that the home was TNAS while the home was being re-staged and photographed.
