What is Days On Market?

Days on market (DOM) is a metric used in the real estate industry to indicate the number of days a property has been listed for sale on the market. It is a key indicator of the property's marketability and can influence the perceived value of the property. A high DOM can suggest that a property is overpriced or less desirable, while a low DOM can indicate a hot market or a well-priced property. Real estate agents and sellers often use DOM to gauge the effectiveness of their pricing strategy and marketing efforts.
