Use the approved figure, its effective date, and a list of the page elements that must change. Keep the current asking price and any historical comparison clearly labeled. This guide is a publishing brief for real estate agents. It does not recommend a price, reduction amount, or moment to change a seller's terms. ## Who should authorize the change? Start with the responsible listing professional and the seller's approved instruction under the applicable process. Keep the authorization in the brokerage's records, not on the public page. For example, MLS Now requires seller authorization in writing for a price change and sets its own update deadline. That is a local rule, not a nationwide deadline. [MLS Now price-change guidance, updated 2026.09.23; checked 2026.10.23](https://support.mlsnow.com/hc/en-us/articles/47759188071323-Listing-Status-Decision-Guide). ## What should the builder receive? Provide the property reference, approved new asking price, effective date, and publication instructions. State whether the previous price may appear in a public comparison. Identify the person who resolves discrepancies. Keep an unconfirmed instruction out of the release queue. Do not let the builder select a price from competing email versions. ## Which parts of the website need checking? Make an inventory before the change. Include the places your site actually uses rather than assuming one field controls everything. | Website location | Check after the approved update | | --- | --- | | Main property page | Current asking price and label match the instruction | | Search or featured cards | The same property shows the intended current figure | | Downloadable brochure | The approved version carries its own date | | Shared-page preview | Visible title and description do not preserve an obsolete claim | | Structured property data | Any included price matches the approved public record | | Inquiry record | Recipient can identify which property the visitor asked about | These are proposed checks. The site's actual data sources determine which locations need separate changes. ## Should the page display both prices? Only use an old-versus-new comparison after the responsible professional approves both figures and their meanings. Identify the old amount as a former asking price, not a valuation. If you calculate a difference, retain the inputs and calculation with the review record. Avoid an unsupported savings claim about what the property is worth. ## How should a price reduction be described? State the verified change in plain language. Keep the explanation limited to what the seller has approved for public use. Avoid inventing a financial hardship or urgent deadline. For context, NAR's price-reduction article discusses reassessing pricing against competing properties and market evidence. It does not establish a correct reduction for this listing. [NAR pricing discussion, published 2025.08.14; checked 2026.10.23](https://www.nar.realtor/news/real-estate-news/sales-marketing/listing-price-reduction-how-to-navigate-it-with-buyers-sellers). ## Does a price cut prove there is a property defect? Do not use the website update to infer a cause. Ask the listing professional which explanation can be supported and published. Retain an unknown reason as unknown. Keep condition questions in the normal property-information process. A price change is not a substitute for the relevant documents or qualified assessment. ## What if the website uses a listing feed? Ask the provider and site maintainer to identify which system supplies each displayed price. Review the provider's documented update behavior before promising a synchronization interval. If a manual page and a feed disagree, hold the affected announcement until the responsible person resolves the record. Avoid copying an unconfirmed value into more destinations. ## Should a new article be created for every reduction? Prefer updating the maintained property destination when it owns the current listing information. Create a separate explanation only when it provides a distinct, supportable answer. Keep the original URL useful for someone returning from an earlier message. Show the current source date. Preserve history where the approved publishing process requires it. ## How should the inquiry action change? Keep the request tied to the property and the question the visitor wants answered. Offer a way to ask for current information or discuss a permitted showing. Do not make the confirmation announce that an offer, appointment, or financing approval exists. Identify which person receives the request and carry the property reference into that record. ## Which market explanations belong nearby? Link to the [sale-to-list ratio guide](/articles/sale-list-price-ratio-agent-market-reports) when explaining a report's ratio. Keep original and final asking prices distinct in the reporting brief. For a property-specific pricing discussion, use the [CMA sample guide](/articles/public-cma-sample-agent-seller-page). Avoid replacing the actual analysis with a national headline about price cuts. ## What should the release check prove? Compare every affected price and label against the approved instruction. Open the current brochure and inspect the property card. Record the page address, checked version, and remaining discrepancies. Submit a marked inquiry with details you control. Confirm that the intended recipient receives the property question. Treat untested destinations as open checks, not completed synchronization. ## Add coordinated price updates to your scope Use the [real estate website guides](/for/real-estate) to list the destinations and source records.
