What is Days on market?
Days on market (DOM) is how long a property has been listed for sale before it sells or is taken off the market.
Definition
Also known as: DOM
DOM signals how a home is moving relative to the market. A low DOM suggests strong demand or sharp pricing; a high DOM may hint at overpricing or issues.
