Can You Cancel and Relist Your MLS Listing to Reset Days on Market? | Houzeo

Can I cancel my current MLS listing and immediately relist the property to reset the days on the market?

Certainly, you can cancel and relist your property on the same day to reset the "Days on the market" count. This approach can help provide a fresh start for your listing's time on the market. 

Canceling and relisting on the same day will reset the Days on Market (DOM) counter on the new listing to 0 in most MLS systems. However, some MLS systems track "Cumulative Days on Market" (CDOM), which factors in all the previous listing days for the property. These MLSs might require you to wait a specific timeframe (often 30 days) after canceling before the CDOM resets on a new listing.

Each MLS has different rules regarding resetting the count of Days On the Market (DOM) and Cumulative Days On the Market (CDOM). It is best that you check these rules with your local MLS board to get the most accurate information.
