Why Market Reports?
A great blogging topic for real estate agents is market reports. Home buyers and home sellers are always looking for the latest statistics and trends on their local market. News media often focus on national or regional statistics, but real estate customers want information local to their market. Town/City specific statistics can be very different from county or state-wide figures.
Best Approach to Market Report Blogs
Blogs on market reports should always focus on defined areas such as…
- A City/Town
- A Subdivision
- A Condo Complex
- A Neighborhood
Types of Market Reports
There are many different types of information that real estate agents can pull from MLS. All of these stats can be included in one market report, or referenced in different reports.
- Average Selling Price
- Number of Homes Sold
- Average Days on Market
- Median Sales Price
- Lowest Sales Price
- Highest Sales Price
Time Frames & Trends
Market statistics are more useful when put into perspective. Always provide figures for multiple years so that customers can understand the trend. For example, if you are providing statistics for January 2012, compare that figure to January 2011, January 2010, and January 2009. Keep the time frame consistent but across multiple years.
