Market Timing Terms
The term “days to offer” refers to the number of days from the original listing date until the date upon which a seller accepts a buyer’s offer to purchase. This represents the most accurate measurement of market speed because it shows the buyer’s true sense of urgency.
“Days on market” is a term used to measure the number of days from original listing date to the date a property status is changed in MLS to “under agreement”. This status code is highly subjective and used inconsistently; therefore, “days to offer” is the most reliable measurement for market speed.
