Days on Market (DOM)

How long a listing has been active. Investors treat it as a "leverage thermometer" — the longer you've sat, the bigger the discount they assume they can extract.

A long days-on-market almost always traces to an opening price set too high or a marketing problem, not to the house being worth less. Investors use it as a signal that the seller is discouraged. The fix is usually price and marketing, not a fire sale.
