This information is especially helpful when conducting searches using the Map or to show activity around a subject property. There are five categories of property and sales information. You can view six layers of data simultaneously. **Distressed Properties Layer** This category offers the stages of foreclosure as well as short sales. When you select this option, distressed properties will be indicated on the Map with the appropriate icon: Click [here](/docs/property-and-sales-information-on-the-map#) to view the Distressed Properties selector configuration. ![Distressed Properties option criteria menu showing foreclosure status checklist toggles.](https://cdn.document360.io/d7730790-9b0e-4a1e-800e-a32628b13559/Images/Documentation/Property_and_Sales_Information_on_the_Map_1.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T00%3A19%3A18Z&se=2026-11-06T01%3A19%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=taXMAvA%2F%2FxnAF7muehyp6VOVYHcmMMHBFrkGoPDvUY4%3D) - **Pre-foreclosure:** Pre-foreclosed properties still belong to the owner. The lender has just begun the foreclosure process due to a default on loan payments. - **Auction:** If the owner is unable to make the necessary payments or sell the property, it goes to a public auction. - **Bank Owned (REO):** A Bank owned, or Real Estate Owned (REO) property has not been sold at auction and is now in the possession of the lender. - **Short Sale:** Cotality’s short sale flag is applied to properties if the most recent sale price is less than the previous mortgage. - **Bank Owned:** A distressed bank owned property is one that has been repossessed by the lender but has not gone through the foreclosure process. **NOTE:** These properties may have a Foreclosure report available in the View Report window. **Sales and Values Layer** This category offers Cotality sales in the last 3, 6, 9, or 12 months and Automated Valuation Model (AVM) layers: Click [here](/docs/property-and-sales-information-on-the-map#) to view Sales and Values configuration settings. ![Sales and Values menu options displaying historical timeframe ranges and AVM toggle options.](https://cdn.document360.io/d7730790-9b0e-4a1e-800e-a32628b13559/Images/Documentation/Property_and_Sales_Information_on_the_Map_2.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T00%3A19%3A18Z&se=2026-11-06T01%3A19%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=taXMAvA%2F%2FxnAF7muehyp6VOVYHcmMMHBFrkGoPDvUY4%3D) **NOTE:** Our AVM’s provide reliable and realistic valuations of property values based on existing data, such as the current listing and recent sales, and rolls it into a valuation that you can use when listing or making an offer on a property. **MLS Status Layer** This category offers listings by MLS status and MLS sales within the last 3, 6, 9, or 12 months: Click [here](/docs/property-and-sales-information-on-the-map#) to view the MLS Status layer options. ![MLS status criteria picker panel displaying Active, Pending, and Expired checkboxes.](https://cdn.document360.io/d7730790-9b0e-4a1e-800e-a32628b13559/Images/Documentation/Property_and_Sales_Information_on_the_Map_3.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T00%3A19%3A18Z&se=2026-11-06T01%3A19%3A18Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=taXMAvA%2F%2FxnAF7muehyp6VOVYHcmMMHBFrkGoPDvUY4%3D) - **Active:** The seller is soliciting offers through the MLS and no offer has yet been accepted. - **Pending:** The seller has accepted an offer and is no longer soliciting offers through the MLS. - **Expired:** The seller is not soliciting offers through the MLS because the time frame of the listing contract has run out. **NOTE:** In some cases this data may be more current than the county tax record data. **Property Characteristics Overlays** This category contains labels that you can show one at a time to indicate various attributes directly about the property on your map display viewport.
