Understanding Days on Market (DOM)
We’ve been made aware that some third-party websites may calculate or display Days on Market (DOM) differently than Paragon. Because these are external platforms, the DOM shown on those sites may not always match what members see within Paragon.
This does not necessarily mean the third-party information is incorrect; it may simply reflect a different calculation method, display logic, or data presentation format. Similar to how listing photos may be uploaded in one order but displayed differently on consumer-facing websites, third-party platforms may organize or present listing information in ways designed for their own systems and users.
SCWMLS is working with third-party sites to encourage clear and consistent messaging around DOM and related listing data. However, members should always rely on Paragon, Collaboration Center, and reports generated within the SCWMLS portal for the most accurate and authoritative listing information.
We have also updated the Multiple Listing Options for Sellers form to include disclosure language related to third-party display of listing information.
Per SCWMLS policy:
- DOM resets each time a new listing is entered. Since DOM begins counting on the list date, a listing must be entered on that same date in order to reflect a DOM of 0.
- CDOM, or Cumulative Days on Market, resets only when the property has been off market for at least 31 days. When counting those days, do not include the off-market date or the new list date. There must be 31 full days in between.
- DOM does not accrue while a listing is in Delayed, Withdrawn, or Offer-No Show status.
Members should continue to use Paragon as the source of truth for DOM and CDOM within SCWMLS.
