Cumulative days on market
The total days on market across recent listings for the same home, including relisting after a cancel. Some MLSs use this to keep sellers from resetting the clock.
Your Room opens on showings and offers, with everything before the listing already ticked.

Why a seller cares
CDOM is the clock you cannot reset by relisting. A home withdrawn and relisted a week later keeps its old days in most MLSs, and buyers' agents read the number.
Part 2 of 4
A simple example
You list in March, withdraw in May after 60 days, and relist in June. DOM shows 3; CDOM shows 63.
| What you did | What the two clocks show |
|---|---|
| Listed 60 days, withdrew, relisted | DOM 3, CDOM 63 |
| Withdrew for 90 days or more, in many MLSs | Both clocks reset; the rules vary |
| Stayed listed | One clock, honest and visible |
Relisting hides the days from the portals for a while. It does not hide them from agents.

What people get wrong
That a fresh listing gets a fresh start. Agents see the cumulative number, and they tell their buyers.
