Doesn't it say how long a house has been on the market right in the listing?

EDIT: I'm talking about the US, just so we're clear.

You can create a new listing...

That still shows up. You can see every time it sells too. Unless you're talking like, outside of MLS or something.

Redfin even slaps a little badge on it saying "Back on market"

If you delete the listing and remake it how would it still show up? The back on the market is if they don't completely delete it but mark it sold and then unsold.

It's by address. The history goes back decades. Go look at like any listing online.

You can't just "make a new listing" unless you're changing the address. Down voting doesn't change it.

That's not how domain and realestate.com.au work. The history is different to the listing.

Maybe don't assume every website works the same as the ones you use.

What country are you in? Never heard of realestate.com and it doesn't even come up on Google.

Is the problem with the word "listing"? Would it be more accurate if I say "the webpage you look at when a house is for sale"?

Thanks for your edit. (And for editing the URL to add the .au). It turns out it's not a website difference -- it's a COUNTRY difference. I apologize for not realizing you were not familiar with how the US real estate market works.

It's wrong for me to be US-centric, but it's incredibly bizarre for you to assume that Australia is the country we're all talking about.

Yes, but I tend to assume they either found a new realtor and took it down and put it back up.

I suppose there are lots of reasons for a property to go off the market and come back without having sold. I don't know if offers that fall through show up in the history for example.

I bought in the weird time where if a house was on the market for more than a week there was something wrong with it.

They would, generally.

It will show as pending, then on market again. That’s also a red flag.
