If you’re preparing to sell your home in markets like Bothell, Kirkland, Woodinville, Seattle, or Everett, one of the most important—and often misunderstood—metrics you’ll encounter is Days on Market (DOM).
At first glance, DOM seems simple: it’s the number of days a home is actively listed before going under contract. But in reality, it plays a powerful role in buyer psychology, pricing strategy, and ultimately how much money you walk away with.
Understanding how DOM works—and how to control it—can be the difference between maximizing your home’s value and leaving money on the table.
