Buyers Looking for Residence PLUS Rental Unit

How does "Days on Market" relate to "Percentage of Selling Price to Asking Price"?

My Buyer, who is seeking an investment property of under $300,000, asked me an interesting question while we were looking at properties together this morning, which I'll get to in a minute.
