It just means that it hasn't been on the market for long - this isn't a technical term so there aren't parameters set in place to fit some sort of guideline. I would review the number of days its been on the market & form you own opinion on how recent it is.

In addition to all of the other great answers Chris, the term "listed" refers to a home being introduced to the market for sale. You may see agents advertise that they have a new listing, have taken a listing, or will be listing a property in the near future.

I think the most important thing you can look at is the status of the listing- active, option pending, pending or closed.

Recently listed would mean the home had been on the market for sale for a short period of time. There is a not set time period, but I would take it to mean less than 30 days. It would be an opinion of the person making the statement.
