My agent had/has me on the actual MLS listing. Even though I have sold I still get it for my zip and price range. It lists two dates. Days on Market and Days listed. If a house is on the market for 200 days and is taken off and relisted for 15 days it will show.
Days on Market-215
Days on listing 15
At least up here the buyers agent will know the real deal. Realtors.Com may be fooled but not your agent. Yes the off and on does happen. I know of one house that has gone from 599K t0 491K and went on the market November of 06. The realtor is now submitting the listing every two weeks so it comes through on the up date list and will be noticed by agents.
