Paragon News & Updates

Coming November 5: New Open House Module

Starting Tuesday, November 5, how open houses and broker opens are entered and searched for in Paragon will change. In short, you will now add open houses from the listing input & maintenance screen or from the Select an Action menu. This quick access will streamline workflow.

Active open houses will be automatically moved to the new Open House Module on November 5, so there is no need to re-enter what is already in Paragon.

Days on Market Explained

There are two types of days on market (DOM) counts in the MLS:

DOM = the number of days an individual MLS # has been actively marketed (Active, Offer-Bump, or Offer-Show status). The DOM resets each time a new MLS # is entered.

CDOM = the cumulative number of days a property has been actively marketed. This includes the DOM from previous MLS #s. The CDOM will only reset if a property is off-market for at least 31 days between listings.
