Status Mapping

The following table explains how all the various status that we receive from MLS are mapped to the Buying Buddy status.

Coming Soon Coming soon listings are treated as Active and are always included in search results with a banner that says "Coming Soon". The search form does not support searching for just 'coming soon' status.
It is possible to create a display of 'coming soon' properties by using the listing_status filter.
For Property Alerts, coming-soon will be shown in the alerts.
