In Colorado Springs, homes for salesat on the market for an average of 89 days in 2007. The lowest days on market were in July, at 74 days. The highest DOM was in January (104) and December (109).

Although the 89 day average is up from 76 days in 2006, and higher than we have seen in a long time, it is still at the 3 month mark, which is good news for people who have a home for sale. Here is a graph showing the average days on market from 1997-2007.

Mariana your graphs make well for a listing presentation. Great Post.
Thank you Frank.
Hi Bob - You bring up a very valid point, but here are my thoughts on that:
If a home was cancelled, withdrawn and/or expired it was because it was not "really" in the market - It either was overpriced and/or extremely difficult to show. I do not think it is fair to include those not-really-in-the-market homes with the rest of homes. I use that data in listing presentations only to prove that PRICE is king ... "Look what doesn't sell."
However, it WOULD be interesting to see how change in price (or showing instructions) directly affect DOM. I DO know that in Woodmoor (I assume you are from this area) the average DOM for homes on the market is a little over 100 days. However, we did a little further research to find that, regarding SOLD homes, as soon as the home was actually priced in the market, it sold in under 35 days.
