In my newest Inman opinion piece, I argue that days on market and price changes are not optional narratives — they are facts!
Buyers rely on these signals to make informed decisions, and the broader market depends on transparency to operate fairly and efficiently. Hiding metrics or pretending a property is somehow “not really on the market” does not protect value; it undermines trust. If you are searching for a home, you have every right to ask how long a property has been for sale, and you are entitled to that information.
I also address the risks of fragmented inventory and opaque private listing networks, which make it harder for consumers to access information and can weaken the integrity of the marketplace.
At a moment when housing supply is already tight, we should be expanding transparency, not limiting it. Read the full piece, “Days-on-Market Metrics Are Facts. Sorry, Not Sorry,” on Inman.
