Important MLS Update: DMLS/CDMLS will be replaced with DOM/CDOM
Introduction
Welcome to Hotline Realty, the go-to source for staying up-to-date with the latest trends and updates in the Business and Consumer Services - Real Estate industry. In this article, we are pleased to bring you an important MLS update: the current DMLS/CDMLS system is being phased out and replaced with the new DOM/CDOM system, effective August 11.
Understanding the MLS Update
The MLS, or Multiple Listing Service, is a vital tool in the real estate industry that allows real estate professionals to share information about available properties with one another, facilitating faster and more efficient transactions. DMLS/CDMLS refers to the current way of tracking the time a property spends on the market and its associated cumulative days on market.
The new DOM/CDOM system represents an important shift in how properties will be evaluated in terms of their market presence. DOM stands for Days on Market, representing the number of days a property has been listed for sale since its initial listing date. CDOM, on the other hand, stands for Cumulative Days on Market and includes any days that the property has been listed in the past, even if the listing has been temporarily withdrawn or expired.
Implications for Buyers
For buyers in the real estate market, the transition from DMLS/CDMLS to DOM/CDOM brings increased transparency and accuracy in evaluating the freshness of property listings. DOM provides a clearer picture of how long a property has been on the market since its most recent listing, allowing buyers to make more informed decisions based on the property's perceived desirability and potential room for negotiation.
Additionally, CDOM provides a comprehensive view of a property's history, including any prior listings and associated periods of market exposure. This information can be valuable for buyers seeking to understand the market dynamics and pricing trends for a particular property.
Implications for Sellers
For sellers, the transition to the DOM/CDOM system carries implications for pricing strategies and marketing efforts. It becomes even more crucial to ensure that a property is priced competitively from the start, as DOM now reflects the true number of days the property has been available for sale.
Furthermore, sellers must be conscious of their property's history as the CDOM factor includes any previous listings. Accurate and up-to-date information about past listings will be essential to provide a complete representation of a property's market presence.
