Expired vs. Withdrawn Listings in Frisco — What’s the Difference and Why It Matters

If your Frisco home didn’t sell, you may have noticed terms like “expired” and “withdrawn” attached to listings. While they sound similar, these two statuses mean very different things for sellers — and knowing the difference can help you make better decisions when relisting.

What Is an Expired Listing?

An expired listing happens when the listing agreement between you and your REALTOR® runs out without the home selling.

The home is no longer active on the MLS.
Buyers see it as a “stale” property.
Often the result of overpricing, poor marketing, or lack of exposure.
To relist, you need to sign a new agreement (either with the same agent or a new one).

What Is a Withdrawn Listing?

A withdrawn listing means the seller (or agent) removed the property from the MLS before the agreement ended.

The home is temporarily off the market.
Common reasons include repairs, personal situations, or a new selling strategy.
Unlike expired listings, withdrawn homes can be relisted at any time under the same agreement.

Why the Difference Matters

Buyer Perception: Expired listings often signal to buyers that something went wrong with the sale. Withdrawn listings carry less stigma.
Relisting Strategy: Expired listings require a complete relaunch with fresh marketing. Withdrawn listings may only need adjustments before reappearing.
Timing: Expired listings typically need a waiting period before being relisted on MLS. Withdrawn listings can be put back up quickly.

Statistics Sellers Should Know

Over 30% of homes in Texas fail to sell during their first listing period.
Relisted homes with new pricing and marketing sell 50% faster than those that reappear unchanged.
Buyer interest drops by over 60% after the first 30 days on market — making a strong relaunch critical.
