The days on market resets if the property has been off the market for 90+ days. But we can otherwise look at property history to see former MLS listing activity for that home. This is sometimes interesting, especially when we see that a seller is listing for less than they paid a couple of years ago, but it still doesn't tell us what sort of offer the seller would or would not accept. Steve Hi Aaron,

When properties are delisted and then relisted, the days on market gets reset and the results get skewed. A property that has been listed before suddenly looks new, which wastes my time when I am trying to search for "real" new listings. It would be nice to have a persistent history of that address, with info showing when and for how long it was listed in the past.
