There will be two training webinars to learn more about these products:

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!

Flexmls Pro version 2.03 March 28

On March 28, Flexmls Pro version 2.03 will be released and available in the Apple App Store. The latest version will include additional sharing options when sharing searches, the ability to mark all messages as having been read, and more.

Share a New or Saved Search - More Share Options
The option to share a new or saved search as a text message, email link, etc. will be available (as allowed by your MLS). Just as before, share a new or saved search by tapping the Share icon in the upper right corner. If you are sharing a new search, you will be asked to name it and tap Save and Share before continuing.


From the share screen, you can select a contact, create a message and turn on a subscription, or you can tap More Share Options to send the search results via text message or other available options on your mobile device (as allowed by your MLS).


Mark All Messages as Read
When viewing your messages, you can now mark all messages as having been read. To mark all messages as having been read from the More screen, tap Messages. Then select the Read All option at the top of the screen.


If you select Yes, all of your current messages will be marked as having been read. The next time you tap Read All when checking your messages, you will receive the same confirmation dialogue box.

If you select Yes, don't ask again, all of your current messages will be marked as having been read, and the next time you tap Read All when checking your messages, you will not receive a confirmation dialogue. Instead, all messages will automatically be marked as read.

If you select Cancel, you will cancel the request to mark all messages as read.

To refresh your messages, tap the screen and pull down.


Other Changes
In addition to the changes listed above, Flexmls Pro 2.03 will also contain minor improvements and bug fixes including:

Northeast Florida MLS Launches ShowingTime Analytics Reports

DATA TOOLS ENABLE USERS TO ANALYZE LOCAL TRENDS QUICKLY

We are pleased to announce, in conjunction with ShowingTime, the launch of two new data tools for our members 

• Infosparks, an interactive residential real estate market analytics product
• Faststats, a map-based tool producing PDF reports of statistical based data

Infosparks is a multifaceted, mobile-ready tool that combines local geography (Regions/Areas, Zip Code, Subdivision...)with housing variables (Square Feet, Bedrooms, Bathrooms...), time frames and market metrics for fast and easy analysis and sharing of trend data direct from the NEFMLS system.

You can easily add your logo to the Infosparks reports via a profile and share it on your blogs and websites. The data points for complete months are updated daily and live-data will keep the charts current.

Faststats generates market reports for 21 counties in Northeast Florida as well as a market-wide report. Again, using NEFMLS data, these PDF reports detail statistics providing both a Local Market Update and a Monthly Indicator Report.

Infosparks and Faststats both access current and historical market information by area, county, region, legal district, ZIP code and self-drawn areas, with output derived directly from the NEFMLS data.

These statistical programs can only be accessed through FlexMLS after you login. Watch for upcoming webinar training.
