Abstract:

Investigating the belief that real estate properties selling within the time of the listing agent’s contract
duration are correctly priced based on comparative market analysis revealed that per square foot listed
and sold prices, not their percentage deviation from the average of recent past sold prices, contribute
more to the Time on Market (TOM) of listed property. Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) pricing is
thus not as critical a factor in the prediction of Time on Market (TOM). Instead, other contributing
factors contribute significantly to the TOMs of listed properties. As such, strategic planners may need to
rethink their sales strategies.
