market report: How Good Are YOUR Market Reports? - 01/09/12 02:51 PM
I ask myself all of the time... 
How good are my market reports?  Are they compelling?  Why should a buyer or seller read MY market report instead of one of the hundreds of other reports out there?   Am I providing value?  What do consumers want in a market report?  I am specifically NOT leaving a link to one of my market reports in order for everyone to grade it.  Rather, I would love to hear about what YOU think makes a great market report... whether you are an agent, broker, consumer or vendor. 
What makes a great market report?

market report: The Gwinnett County Market is a Little Weird Right Now... - 07/16/11 01:16 PM
Image by lane.bailey via Flickr I have been pulling Gwinnett County Real Estate Market Data, and I'm not done with it yet.  But, I have been seeing a few things.
Listings are down markedly from where they would normally be.  This can be either a positive or negative, depending on your outlook. On the Plus Side, fewer listings means that Absorption Rates are better.  There is less inventory to get sold... it tilts the table back toward sellers.  It has been largely tilted toward buyers for quite a while. On the Minus Side, it shows that there is pessimism in the … (5 comments)

market report: Local? Hyper-Local? National? What IS the Market? - 02/10/11 02:39 PM
 
I love watching the news... but when they talk about the real estate market, I cringe. I like to hear the national numbers, but I also know that they are just a framework for a smaller discussion. Yep... a smaller discussion.
It matters what the overall market is doing, but it's not nearly as important as what is happening in your neighborhood. It matters what is happening in Georgia, and the Atlanta Metro market, but not nearly as much as what is happening in your specific city. Real estate prices and demand react to specific local issues much more than … (38 comments)

market report: The WRONG Top ten List to be on... - 01/20/11 10:02 AM
Image via Wikipedia Yahoo News recently published an article titled "The Eight States Running Out of Homebuyers".  (I know, I said 10... they say 8, but they mentioned that Colorado and South Carolina barely missed inclusion).

market report: I'm Always Up For a Good Surprise.. - 01/13/11 06:10 AM
Image via Wikipedia I was working over the market data for Gwinnett County, GA... outside of Atlanta.  And the numbers were a bit surprising.  They were good... Almost across the board...
Why am I not excited?  I want to be excited.  I want to shout to the world that Gwinnett County's real estate market has turned.
But I'm skeptical... Generally, December has to lowest number of listings that we are going to see throughout the year.  Seldom will we see an increase in listings... in fact, only in the high end (where listings are often on the market over a year) … (0 comments)
