What about the concept of resetting the DOM (Days on Market) on MLS so that a “stalefish” listing has an opportunity to adjust the clock and appear as a new listing? 

Seems silly to me.  Buyers in the Bay Area are hardly naive.  They search, investigate and learn the history, condition and all pertinent details of a home pretty quickly so that this lame tactic reflects negatively on the seller AND the seller’s agent which makes a difference during the negotiation.  (no respect here)

My colleague, Arn Cendella has some thoughts on the subject.
