  • 1.  Resetting "days on market" for MLS?

    Posted 12-09-2016 01:28 PM

    Does anyone know how long a house has to be off the market to "reset the clock" on MLS? (I.e., so instead of saying "house on market for 410 days", which can drag price down, when does it reset)?

    I used to practice real estate and I never had a deal where a realtor would permit this to happen.  Usually there is either major pressure on the seller for a price reduction and then they would re-set the clock, or the house actually would come off the market for a while and when it was put back on the clock would start again.  Or the seller would switch realtors upon expiration of the listing.  Houses that have no traffic typically come off the market from the time of the fall holidays to the beginning of the new year.  I really don't know what would be done if a realtor actually allowed a house to sit 410 days on the market.  I'll ask some of my realtor contacts.

    Below is the response that I received from a realtor:

     

    I spoke with the CEO of our Realtor Association for current practice. She spoke with our ML service. 

    "Archives will always show all history". Realtors can always access this and will advise clients accordingly. 

     "When a property expires, and a brand new listing is entered with a new ML number, that starts a new DAY 1". 

    I hope this is helpful.

    I asked a realtor and she said the same thing.  The MLS will always show the full history, but if you re-list it restarts.
