sits provably completed in Silver Spring in the last 12 months
Only 64 Silver Spring listings have resolved inside our measurement window so far — below the 100 we require before publishing a fill rate, where a proportion still carries a wide interval. Rather than print a number that would mostly be noise, this slot stays empty until the sample is real. What we can already say: at least 343 sits have provably completed in Silver Spring since 2017, 121 of them in the last 12 months — each one required a chosen sitter, so this market does fill, at a pace our 48-hour instrument hasn't yet measured. The supply and chaining figures below are counts, not estimates, and carry no such floor.

Do house sits actually get filled in Silver Spring?
Yes — at least 343 sits have provably completed in Silver Spring since 2017, 121 of them ending in the last 12 months. A completion requires a chosen sitter, so every one had at least one real application. These are floors from listing histories, and they cannot be turned into a fill rate: sits that went unfilled leave no trace, so there is no denominator.

Applicants — the count reported on each open listing at last refresh.
Posting lead — days between a listing first appearing and its start date, median across open listings.
Gapless days — the longest bookable run of consecutive covered days assembled from open sits beginning within the next 90 days: no overlaps, each sit starting the day the previous one ends.
