“Market Snapshot” Provides Just That

You gotta love automation, queries and databases. Anything to give us instant gratification with instant information. We recently installed a new service on our websites called â€œMarket Snapshotâ€, that provides a look at listing and sales activity around any given address. It is connected to our local MLS, The Mid-Florida Regional MLS. The MLS is the database used by real estate agents and brokers to list homes for sale and record sales data. As a Tampa Realtor, this is where you go to search for homes for buyer clients and/or do research to determine estimated market values.

So the Market Snapshot will go out and automatically pull current listings as well as recently sold homes comparable to any address provided in the form. It then shoots the user an e-mail with a link to a graphic presentation of the market conditions in and around the neighborhood of that particular address. Users can also set up future, automated reports on selected schedules.

And while this Market Snapshot is really no match to a professionally prepared Comparative Market Analysis, it does provide some good information in short order, and provides the instant gratification that we all desire. Check it out (in the right column there) and feel free to provide any feedback.
