Pending is a term used to describe an action or process which has been started but is not yet complete. It indicates that something is in progress or awaiting approval or resolution.No. A property is considered pending after the owner has accepted an offer from a buyer. While the property is in this state, no further offers are accepted and the listing is no longer on the market.
Pending, Contingent signifies an offer has been accepted on property putting that buyer first in line to consummate the terms of the accepted offer. Multiple Listing Services very in different area, some require the property without written direction from the seller to continue to be shown but that will ultimately be determined by the seller. Some sellers may be interested in attracting back-up offers and willing to do so.
Means there is an offer on the property that was accepted. You can still draft an offer, but it would be held as back up. There is also no guarantee you will be able to view the house if you have not already viewed it.

“Pending” means the seller has already accepted an offer and the sale is moving toward closing, but it isn’t final yet.
You usually can’t jump ahead of the current buyer, but you can sometimes still tour the home or submit a backup offer if the seller is open to backups.
“Pending” means the seller has accepted an offer and the home is under contract. Most of the important steps like inspections and negotiations are already done, and the sale is moving toward closing. Whether you can still see the property or make an offer depends on the seller’s instructions. In many cases, showings stop once a home is pending.
Pending means the seller has accepted an offer and the transaction is moving toward closing, but the sale has not closed yet. In most cases, pending homes are no longer actively shown or accepting new offers, though a deal can still fall through before closing.
“Pending” means the seller has accepted an offer and the home is under contract, but the sale hasn’t closed yet.
In most cases, showings stop and the seller isn’t actively accepting new offers. However, you can still ask to see it and submit a backup offer. If the current deal falls through due to inspection, financing, or other contingencies, a backup offer puts you next in line.
So it’s not fully sold yet, but your chances are lower unless something goes wrong with the current contract.
Pending means the property has accepted an offer and are currently in Attorney Review.
It is sometimes available to still see, but with knowledge they have an accepted offer.
Hello Yvette, A pending means the home has a contract for purchase on it. Depending on wether or not the seller is accepting backup contracts determines whether or not you can tour the home. If you did tour a home that had a pending sale and fell in love with it, you could have your Realtor submit a backup contract for you. What that means....Should the buyer with the primary contract cancel their contract with the seller, your contract would move in to the first position, provided there are not multiple back up contract. I hope this answer helps. Good luck to you and your home search.

Pending means that the Seller has accepted an offer, but the sale has not yet completed. In my State (Montana) we have the option of noting the sale as "pending" or "under contract accepting back-up offers". This is very often at the discretion of the Seller. If the offer is very solid and has a high probability of closure, often the Seller does not want to be bothered with more showings, and the property is not available to see any longer. If the Seller feels a bit nervous about the deal, the Seller may very well want the property to continue to be shown, and would accept another offer to be in back-up position in case the first offer should fail.
