Average days on market (DOM) measures how long properties take to go under contract.
However, DOM must be interpreted carefully.
Averages can be skewed by:
Luxury listings with longer timelines
Unique properties
Expired and relisted homes
More important than the overall average is:
How long are homes like yours taking to sell?
Evaluating DOM within your specific:
Price range
Neighborhood
Property type
provides a clearer expectation.
Shorter DOM generally indicates strong buyer demand. Longer DOM suggests more competition or pricing misalignment.
Understanding this metric helps you prepare realistic expectations and strategic timing.
