MLS - Any way to find listings that are about to expire?

[Rusil Patel]

I realize that MLS systems can vary by region, but is there a way to find listings that are approaching their listing expiration date? My intuition says that you cannot search this information in MLS, which kinda makes sense because in that case you would have tons of agents preying on such listings (that are about to expire).

Does anyone know a way to figure out when a listing is going to expire, other than by asking the listing agent?

I would base it on what the agent consistently uses. We're all creatures of habit so it's likely that they use the same contract lengths most of the time. If you can create a small DB for yourself of each agents lengths based on their prior expired listings that could be helpful. Not perfect, but a possibility.
