You settled on what you thought was an appropriate asking price and put your home on the market. You were comfortable with that price when you listed it, but now you’re having second thoughts. You want to get the most money possible out of the sale, and now you’re considering raising the price. But can a seller raise the price of a house after it’s listed?

Or you’ve experienced a sudden and extreme change to your financial situation, such as a layoff or death in the family.

DOM can signal market liquidity . In a seller’s market where inventory is lower than demand, the days on market are expected to be few in number. In a buyer’s market where inventory exceeds demand , days on market are expected to increase. But other factors can impact DOM. If the pro...
