📊 Why "Days on Market" (DOM) Matters in Real Estate 🏡

Whether you’re buying or selling, Days on Market (DOM) is a key metric that can give you valuable insights into a property’s demand & market conditions.

🔹 For Sellers: An extended DOM timeframe may signal that a home is overpriced, needs better marketing, or has considerations effecting demand - while a low DOM often means strong demand and competitive offers.

🔹 For Buyers: Properties sitting on the market longer may offer negotiation opportunities, while homes with low DOM may require swift, competitive offers.

Monitoring DOM helps both buyers and sellers make informed decisions in today’s market! 📈 Have questions? We should chat! 💬

ADUs can provide supplemental rental income to homeowners & open new options in a tight housing market, but they also increase neighborhood density - which may raise concerns in areas with stresses & strained infrastructure.

If you're considering the purchase of a home with an ADU, considering building an ADU on your property, or are curious about how to use an ADU as an investment - be sure to fully investigate regulations, terms & conditions.
