Days on Market & Home Turnover: Recent Trends and Six‑Month Outlook
Indicator Overview: Days on Market (DOM) measures the median time a listing stays active before going under contract. Shorter DOM signals strong demand; longer DOM indicates cooling. In mid‑2025, typical DOM remained around 30–40 days but began lengthening as rates rose.
Six‑Month Trend: Over the past six months, DOM has increased modestly as buyer demand cooled and price reductions became more common.
Six‑Month Forecast: With mortgage rates easing slightly, DOM may stabilize but not return to pandemic‑era lows. Expect DOM in the 30‑35 day range through mid‑2026 as supply improves and buyers remain price‑sensitive.
