Days on Market Explained: What Selling Time Can and Cannot Tell You

What does “days on market” measure in Australian property reports? This Property Pulse Australia explainer separates a completed sale's listing-to-sale time from a live advert's age, and explains why averages, medians and private-treaty samples cannot be compared blindly. It also covers what a longer campaign can and cannot say about price. General market information only, not financial or property advice; this does not consider your circumstances.
