Look, I get it. The Housing Market is frustratingly complex, with many moving and overlapping parts. However, MLS Listings that go beyond a reasonable or average days-on-market (denoted by DOM in Listings) before they should statistically be under contract are at risk of not selling at all. Buyers begin to see such MLS listings as stigmatized (as if something is wrong, such as curb appeal or condition).
I realize there are distressed sellers caught in an overpriced trap as a result of reckless bank/government manipulation of the currency, interest rates, and the economy, but regardless, once you cross the 180-day mark, it is usually not the Market that got it WRONG, but rather the SELLER. Basically, the Market is controlled by external inputs that impose conditions that prompt recognition and accommodation. If a seller disagrees with the overriding macroeconomic realities, then not listing a home for sale would be the right choice.
That is why "DAZE on Market" might be a better way to describe such dated MLS listings. Additionally, longer Days on Market (DOM) tend to affect a listing's selling price negatively. Oftentimes, homes that spend too many days on the Market eventually sell for thousands less than what they could have sold for had the listing been priced right from the start.

Days on Market is effectively a quality score for all listings. Get it right, and sell; get it wrong and sell for less, or not at all.
