I'm sure he/she would be happy to tell you. The only time an agent&nbsp;might&nbsp;not be able to share&nbsp;information&nbsp;is when&nbsp;your question&nbsp;pertains to the actual&nbsp;selling price&nbsp;of a home&nbsp;during an escrow. <br/><br/>The number of days a house is on the market is open information. The listing agent, or any agent with MLS access should be able to tell you when the home was orginally listed. <br/><br/>Good luck.
