What Are Days on Market (DOM)

 

 

In Real Estate, Days on Market means the number of days from the date on which a property is listed for sale on the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS), to the date when there was an accepted offer by the seller, and they signed the contract for the sale of the property with the buyer. The term is used to help Real Estate Agents and potential buyers understand how long a property has been on the market for sale. 

 

On Long Island, after a property has been accepted, a home inspection is usually performed a few days later. After everything is checked out and the buyer wants to go ahead with the purchase, the Seller's Attorney sends the Buyer's Attorney the Contract to be signed. After the buyer signs, the seller then signs, and they are now in Pending status. Days on market cannot be adjusted. Once a property is entered into the MLS, the days start adding up and there is no going back. If a listing has been cancelled and is re-listed again on the MLS, the Days on Market start all over again.

Hello Sheila and Larry - language, especially real estate, can be an interesting combination of lingo, jargon and many sorts of interpretation.  And sometimes it can vary by the same individual as situations and circumstances combine.  It's no mystery to me that proper local representation matters.  It can be excellent when there is a connection.

Good morning Larry and Sheila. Agents have used and tried various techniques to adjust the DOM over the years. Many MLS's  have adopted rules to help get a better picture of how long a property has really been on the market. Enjoy your day.

This is good information to help explain "how long as it been on the market?"

There is certainly a perception that prospective buyers have when seeing the days on the market, which is why I don't understand why some agents will leave a listing as active after they are under contract.

It is funny how in southern NY the attorneys get involved (and, of course add a layer of dollars) in the transaction. I have been licensed in a few states, and bought a few homes in NY...so interesting.

Hi Larry and Sheila- we often forget that often buyers and sellers are not familiar with real estate terms. It's good that you explained Days on Market.

Hi Sheila and Larry... our MLS shows two DOM statistics... the first is the number of days until under contract. The second is cumulative days on market... which calculates all the days a home is on the market until it goes under contract and finally closes. If you want to "lose" the cumulative days we need to keep a property off the market for 90 days before relisting.
