Can I do a pocket listing?

If we list our home as a pocket listing, will it then now show on some websites? We've been reading about Zillow not showing homes that were privately listed. So, if I do a pocket listing will Zillow not show it? Are other companies doing this? We wanted to test the waters on our house and start with a pocket listing. We know there's a range of values for our house and we want to start with the high end, so we thought a pocket listing would be a good test of interest. We prefer a pocket listing at a high price, rather than listing high and having to decrease the price.

Can I pause selling my house?

I've had my house on the market for about 3 weeks. I was hoping it would sell quickly and I wouldn't have to deal with showings over the holidays. rnI'm wondering, if it hasn't sold by the week of Thanksgiving, can I pause selling my house? I don't want it to look like the house is just sitting there and no one wants it. But I also want to enjoy the holidays without needing to have the home "showing ready" at all times.
