I started thinking of ways I can easily get info on homes available to sellers so they can do a mini CMA.  I decided to buy six domain names of zip codes that I service followed by the word homes.  They are:

http://www.66006homes.com/  http://www.66025homes.com/ http://www.66044homes.com/ http://www.66046homes.com/ http://www.66047homes.com/ http://www.66049homes.com/

Except for Coldwell Banker whose listings I had to pull out due to their desires not to IDX (anyone understand why they don't want others to promote their properties??), both buyers and sellers can see what is available on the market now.  I will eventually be adding another part to the page or a link to another page that lists the SOLDs and the prices that the homes received.

If any of the rest of you make some zip code pages, let me know by commenting below.

Thanks!

I did a refinance in Florida this past march and an appraiser sent me a page similar to the one you posted on this blog. It really helped when trying to determine the value of the clients home.

Rob, Sounds like an interesting idea. Couldn't get your links to pull up but I was just wondering why you wouldn't be able to do the same thing on your MLS? Perhaps, I'm not understanding and I obviously can't see the photo real well...need more info as to the difference if all you are doing is providing a CMA. Fill me in, ok?

Thanks Eddy and Daniel!

Gena, not sure why the links won't pull up for you so I sent them to you in an AR contact.  We can't do this on the MLS since zip code is not a searchable field.  The CMA on Paragon 1 is bulky and time consuming to do them one by one and the local MLS won't upgrade to a better version.

Gena, I tried making the image with a larger font and sharpen it but it is only marginally better.

Rob, Wow...your mls doesn't allow you to pull up by zip code? How do you do CMA's just by the thomas guide - 1mile radius? Gee, I can't tell you how often I use zip codes. In fact, I use it all the time in MLS. Well, good for you finding another way around your system in order to do your job right. I applaud you. Tell your MLS to get on the ball and join the rest of the human race!

Amen to that.  MLS is on the way out anyway.  NLS is on the way in.

Well, I have changed the format of http://www.66006homes.com/  http://www.66025homes.com/ http://www.66044homes.com/ http://www.66046homes.com/ http://www.66047homes.com/ http://www.66049homes.com/ to be feature sheets on each active listing in the zip code and all the SOLD's in the past year or so.

This should be a quick CMA check for sellers to see where they want to price their home so it will sell.  Then when they are ready to list, they can give me a call and I can market their home for them.

I had to change the format again due to LBOR rules.  Seems like they don't want the general public to have the MLS info available to just anyone online.  If you are a consumer, feel free to call the Lawrence Board of Realtors and let them know you would like to see more MLS info to be made available on agents' websites.  Their number is 785-842-1843.
