What is CDOM and how is it calculated?
- CDOM stands for continuous days on the market and tracks consecutive listing periods.
- While all MLSs are a little different, the generally accepted rule is that, if a property is re-listed within a 30 day period of it's previous expired, withdrawn, or canceled period, CDOM kicks in and tracks the aggregated listing time of the property. If the property is off the market for 30 days it resets the CDOM. CDOM is usually only measured for a maximum period of two years.
