A reader “tips” us off to a trick for finding a listing’s DOM on the MLS:

“If you want to see the date a home goes on the market. Do a search for open houses, it will give the “DOM” days on market. That does not help if they take it off and then put it back on though. I was looking the other day and there is one on there for over 220 days.”

Obviously not perfect, but a nice little trick. For example, condo #504 in the Marquee (a building we love) is having an open house on this weekend, has been on the market for 56 days, and is touting “1/2 yr of FREE HOA DUES!”.
∙ Listing: 151 Alice B. Toklas Pl #504 – $669,000 [SF MLS]

One thought on “Reader’s Tip: MLS DOM”
  1. If you want to know the Days on Market (DOM), you don’t need any tricks.
    Just go to ZipRealty, they include the DOM in every listing. They also tell when & how much the listing was reduced, if applicable.
