Redfin median days on market for homes going under contract

Median days on market is Redfin's listing-to-contract measure for homes going under contract during the period; it excludes listings more than one year old.

Timing is not a promise

Median days on market is Redfin's listing-to-contract time measure for homes going under contract during the period, separate from active supply and sale price. A median says where the middle reported observation falls; it does not predict an individual home's time to contract.

The same-month comparison reduces seasonal mismatch but does not control for property mix, pricing, condition, or changes in reporting. It remains broad county context.

How to use this public-data result

This market time result is a documented context measure for the stated dates and geography. Read it together with the source definition and the table rather than treating the chart as a property-level conclusion.

A current local comparative analysis remains necessary for an individual buying, selling, or pricing decision because this aggregate series does not control for the attributes of a specific home.

Methodology

Select Redfin county tracker rows for All Residential, 30-day periods and non-seasonally-adjusted values.
Compare MEDIAN_DOM, Redfin's listing-to-contract median for homes going under contract during the period, for May 2019 and May 2026 for each named county.
Calculate change as May 2026 median DOM minus May 2019 median DOM; report days rather than a percentage where the result is easier to read.
Redfin's MEDIAN_DOM excludes listings that were on market for more than one year.

Limitations

County market time is not a forecast for an individual listing or a city-specific statistic.
A monthly median can change with composition and provider coverage; it does not identify why homes reached contract sooner or later.
No claim about bargaining power, pricing strategy, or future days on market is made from this series alone.
