Hi, Days on market is a time the house has been on the market for sale, longer the days on market the longer it has been listed for sale on the market and not sold. Hope this helps.

It’s the number of days a home has been listed for sale before it goes under contract (or sells), shown as DOM.

Day on market means how many days the home has been listed for sale. Cumulative days on market is how many days its been on market and not sold. For example -- if the Seller lists with one agent/brokerage and then changes to another agent/brokerage without selling. The time from the first exposure to the open market is where the count starts.
