We’d like to introduce you to the neighborhood market report update, and it’s a good one. It’s a popular feature for those that know about it, and one we haven’t found on any other website. It’s just one of the features at www.LeeCountyOnline.com that makes it the Go-To real estate website in Southwest Florida.
Neighborhood Market Report Update
What is the neighborhood market report update and why is it important to me you might ask? This report shows all the active listings, pending listings, and sold listings in one easy report. However, it also allows you access to all the photos of each listing, even the pending and sold listings.
In a nice and easy to read format, you’ll also be able to see the price per square foot and the days on the market. It will also show you the sold date on each sold listing, so you can decide which listings you want to click on and check out.
We find this particularly useful for those who have a home on the market or are considering putting their home on the market. You can quickly look at your neighbor’s kitchen, bathrooms, and flooring when determining where to price your home. Many times, those considering selling see what their neighbors home sold for if they are lucky. They really don’t get to see the upgrades and renovations unless they personally go inside.
We’ve included a sample report. We randomly picked a neighborhood that only had a few listings so you could get an idea of how the report shows the actives, pending, and sold properties. This neighborhood doesn’t have any pending sales currently.
Upcoming Changes
We believe there may be a change coming soon to the way listings are displayed in MLS and on the portals. If these changes occur, it could drive more traffic to the bigger players who hold more of the listings, and the data. Currently www.LeeCountyOnline.com holds more of the data, and the Ellis Team combined with Keller Williams controls a large share of the market. By control I simply mean we work with a larger number of listings than a lot of brokers.
Find Out What Your Home is Worth
One of the other things people love on this site is the Free home valuation report. The quickest way to get there is www.SWFLhomevalues.com but it is hosted on the LeeCountyOnline.com site. The home valuation tool not only gives a fast value for your home, but it also automatically updates the value each month. This is especially helpful when the market is changing.
Advanced Searching Capabilities
Customers love the advanced search, which gives you control over 20 additional MLS features you can search on. And if that’s not enough, our agents can log in and help you create a search on every single MLS feature, even the ones you don’t know about.
In Person
Of course, Sande and Brett Ellis love talking with people about their real estate needs. We don’t hide behind a website to serve you. Our website is there to provide additional tools nobody else offers. Brett and Sande are here to provide insight and experience few in this market possess. Simply call us at 239-310-6500. We can’t help you if we don’t talk to you. Even if you’re not ready yet, no question is a dumb question.
Always Call the Ellis Team at Keller Williams Realty and let’s see what’s in your future.
