ABOUT THE TOOLS

Infosparks is a mobile-ready, simple-to-use interactive stats product that will change the way you use and share housing information. It is multifaceted in its ability to combine local geography with customizable housing variables, timeframes and market metrics in order to quickly analyze and share trend data in a clean, intuitive interface.

Use Infosparks to generate charts that will support your recommendations at listing presentations by comparing local to regional numbers, forecasting, managing client expectations and answering the emotional point of price.

Emphasize your expertise and knowledge on your website, in blog posts, through email marketing campaigns and on social media.

Write specifically about a neighborhood, highlight a metric like months’ supply of inventory to show supply and demand, drill down into segments like condominiums or new construction. You can position yourself as the market expert by including stats in all marketing materials:

• Compare up to four areas by many housing variables and market metrics at once.

• Define variable categories like property type, square footage and bedroom count.

• Scan important market metrics like days on market and median sales price for your defined areas.

• Share live charts and snapshots of the market, or download raw data to make your own charts.

Local Market Updates are monthly one-page market reports for 21 counties in the region covering nine key housing metrics for single-family and condominium properties.

Monthly Indicators is a monthly market-wide report that covers each of the key metrics in further depth with written analysis, overview pages for single-family and condominium properties and historical trends for each metric.

Faststats is a tidy, map-based interface that displays the Local Market Updates and Monthly Indicators reports. Simply select from a drop-down menu or from a map of the local region, and there will be a report waiting for you to absorb and share!

The ShowingTime offering allows us to support your needs in a meaningful way without you having to spend hours creating your own data tables and charts. It's really all right there!
