About this episode
This episode discusses the importance of Days on Market in real estate and how it affects buyer and seller expectations.
Days on market isn’t just a number—it’s real-time market feedback. In this episode, we break down why DOM still matters, why the way it’s reported can be misleading, and how buyers use DOM to judge leverage before they even walk through the door. We also talk about setting realistic seller expectations (so nobody panics at day 10), what long DOM can actually mean, and how low offers often hide behind “it’s been sitting” excuses—plus how to coach buyers to offer with a realistic target range instead of “casting once and praying.” Watch Days On Market Is Lying To You! 2026 Market Reality here: https://youtu.be/z8LTDaB2EjE VIDEO SECTIONS & TIMESTAMPS0:00 “Days on market doesn’t matter anymore”—why we disagree 1:24 The problem: DOM resets when price/listing changes 3:12 Using DOM to guide a smarter buying conversation 5:41 The stigma question: what longer DOM might signal (or not) 9:08 Coaching buyers: push back if the offer isn’t realistic 10:34 Wrap-up question: Do you look at days on market when buying?
