Often today a buyer will notice the status of a property has changed to under contract continue to show. It sounds fairly self explanitory. The seller wants other buyers to view the property and perhaps make an offer. Just having that information is not enough for most buyers. I’ll explain what I mean by that in a moment below. Here are the majority of the reasons why a listing staus is “under contract continue to show”.
The property Is a short sale:
An abnormal condition of a contract:
Doubting sellers:
As long as the seller has the right to void the contract the Outer Banks MLS allows a listing agent to put the property in the “under contract continue to show” status.
The OBX MLS system has a field where the listing agent can list the reason why the property is in this status. If a property meets the buyers’ criteria and it is in this “under contract continue to show” status most buyers’ agents will call the listing agent to get a better feel for the chances of that transaction closing. If the price is right and there’s a decent chance the first contract is going to fall through then it might be a good idea to show the property and write a back up offer. Who knows, you might end up getting the property regardless of this status!
