Days on Market
The number of days a rental listing has been marketed, using the report's stated start, end, and counting rules.
Days on market measures how long a rental listing has been marketed. Read it alongside inquiries, showings, and applications to understand listing activity rather than treating elapsed days alone as proof of a pricing or marketing problem.
State the start date, end date or current reporting date, and treatment of time off market. Keep this listing measure separate from turn time, which measures the move-out-to-ready process; marketing and make-ready work can overlap.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is days on market the same as turn time?
No. Days on market concerns a listing's marketing period. Turn time concerns preparing a unit between move-out and move-in-ready condition.
