Go to Zillow - at least they give it to you instead of keeping it confidential. Rather annoying.

Hello,
Did you have a particular listing in mind. I know that Realtors have access to that in our systems. Some third party websites may gave it but I have run into too many instances where third part websites have very very wrong information. The only website that I use now is HAR.com

Feel free to contact me if needed.

Isn't it funny that you can't see it logged in as a consumer but when you're logged in as a realtor you can. I just go to zillow.com and look it up.

The number of days on the market is listed for each property in the profile information sheet on the top right. Hope this helps!

Hi Mario,

As a potential purchaser or investor, I totally understand a buyer requesting information about the length of time a home has been listed on the market! This confidential information definitely brings knowledge to the table and may give a buyer an advantage when they make an offer and negotiate a contract with a seller.

When communicating with a licensed real estate agent in the State of Texas, and you ask them to disclose information about a property, they will inform you of your options for representation according to the Information About Broker’s Services (IABS). Every Texas licensed real estate broker/sales agent is mandated to discuss representation and the IABS with you before having a substantive conversation about a property. Unless you have a signed buyer representative agreement with a broker, or you are working with a broker/broker’s sales agent who has created an agency relationship with you, all other licensed brokers/sales agents, according to the Texas Real Estate Commission, owe a fiduciary duty to the listing broker and the seller. This is the reason why “DOM” is not displayed on HAR’s public portal.

As a higher standard of practice, in addition to being a Texas licensed real estate broker/sales agent, REALTORS® follow and abide by the National Association of REALTORS® Code of Ethics (COE). According to NAR’s COE Standard of Practice 1-9, we are under an obligation “to preserve confidential information.” If you are not represented by a buyer’s broker/agent, you are at a significant disadvantage during contract negotiations and throughout the buying and closing process. I highly encourage you to interview several agents, find the right “REALTOR® fit” for your needs and personality, and then ask them to represent you before previewing homes. When you are deciding on a REALTOR® always remember you are searching for a professional you can trust with one of the largest investments of your life. Take your time and choose wisely.

If you are working with a REALTOR, they can provide you with that information.

You can't see the days on market (DOM) for a listing unless you are logged in to this site as a Realtor.

On HAR, you can see the days on market in full view. Click on the link to bring up more information on the home and it should appear, upper left. Let us know if we can help you. Mark McNitt, Bernstein Realty. 832-567-4357
