The Whispering Tree Lane listing expired at 59 days (that was your goodbye_. More then likely the sellers asked the listing agent for a short contract, (60 days). When you enter a home on the MLS you are obligated to put in a listing period which should match what you put in the contract. Then they relisted and it is now back on the MLS (hello)
Also it is kind of a no win situation.
Most of the things I hear when I speak to sellers at listing appointments is that they DO NOT want to be tied into long listing agreements. So to accomodate that the seller, you sign them to a short listing agreement. Thus the listing will expire earlier. Then the listing will be relisted again.
As for Sladon that listed for 153 days with Prudential and then the listing expired. This was back in 06. Then they relisted with Prudential and they cancelled after 215 days. Then they just relisted again with Prudential AND at the exact same price.
