What is the difference between Virginia MLS Systems DOM (Days on Market) versus CDOM (Cumulative Days On Market)

DOM – Days on Market

• Definition: The number of days the property has been active under its current MLS listing number.
• Starts counting: From the date the listing is entered as Active in the MLS.
• Stops counting: When the status changes to Pending, Withdrawn, Cancelled, or Closed.
• Resets: When the property is cancelled and then relisted as a new listing with a new MLS number, after being off the market for the required amount of time for each MLS system.

CDOM – Cumulative Days on Market

• Definition: The total number of days the property has been on the market under all listings (even if cancelled and relisted), as long as it’s by the same listing firm and without a sufficient off-market break.
• Resets: Only if the property has been off the market for at least the required # of days for the particular MLS (each MLS has different requirements) before being relisted — or if it’s listed by a different firm. CDOM shows the full marketing history of the property, not just one listing.  Not all MLS's show CDOM totals.
