How Long Does it Take for an Open House to Show up on Public Sites?

Once I enter an open house, how long does it take to appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.?

Open houses can take anywhere from 4-48 hours to show on pubic sites after they have been entered into the MLS. This is due to the fact that different public site servers update at varying rates. We have no control over how fast public site servers syndicate to MLS data; We can only affect the MLS itself.

We recommend open houses be scheduled 48 hours in advance because of the time it takes for the various websites to update your listing. If you would like to schedule an open house with less notice, we will make every effort to get it posted. We cannot guarantee it will be posted in time because public websites update at various rates which is out of our control.
