It is important to see the number of homes taken "Off" the market. While many of these homes will return to the marketplace a week or two; seeing a listing "expire" means that the seller and agent thought or expected the home to be sold by now.
James, I was thinking about all of the agents calling all of those expired listings trying to win them for their own!
