    are in Coming Soon status. This field will be defaulted to include ‘Market Listing’ and ‘Coming
    Soon’ and both are required in order for this function to work properly.
3. Will I need this field for saved searches? Yes, if you want your saved searches to continue
    working properly, then the LVT field will need to be included.
