As a Realtor, knowing your local market and being able to share the latest local data trends with clients is key to your business. SunStats can help.<\/p>\n
ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 As a Realtor, knowing your local market and being able to share the latest local data trends is key to your business. And, Florida Realtors has launched a new interactive data tool \u2013 SunStats \u2013 to help members do just that through this robust, user-friendly resource.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy No. 1 priority since I joined the research department at Florida Realtors back in 2011 has been to provide our members with the industry\u2019s most timely, accurate and comprehensive housing market statistics,\u201d says Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O\u2019Connor. \u201cOur monthly market reports have truly been a great success, but they also have their share of limitations. They do look great, and considering how geographically diverse our state is, the reports do a remarkably good job conveying information despite having to conform to a \u2018one-size-fits-all\u2019 format. But in the end, they\u2019re just static PDF documents, and those will only take you so far.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s one of the reasons why Florida Realtors Research is excited to offer SunStats to members, he explains. Moving to an interactive, web-based platform means a range of new capabilities. Members can log in to SunStats at sunstats.floridarealtors.org (password required).<\/p>\n
The SunStats tool features three main parts: a dashboard, a chart builder, and a report builder.<\/p>\n
The dashboard presents users with a quick glance of the metrics, a year-over-year comparison, and a line trend of a year\u2019s worth of data. Users can customize the area displayed in the dashboard to their local area. The chart builder tool lets Realtors select their geography, metric, property type, price tier and more to display custom graphs and tables. The \u201cCompare By\u201d feature allows users to show additional data breakdowns by displaying more than one geography, metric, property type, etc., in a single graph.<\/p>\n
Plus, SunStats\u2019 chart builder not only creates the data series but it also has multiple export features. The chart can be downloaded with or without branding for use on marketing materials, emails to clients, or social media. The data table can be downloaded as a CSV\/Excel spreadsheet for further analysis. SunStats can be used on a laptop, a tablet or a mobile device.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe SunStats Dashboard has it covered, if a Realtor just wants a quick overview of the latest figures from your market area,\u201d adds O\u2019Connor. \u201cIf a member wants to build a historical chart of sale prices for a particular city or ZIP Code, that can be done in the SunStats Chart Builder. Say a Realtor wants to export a chart with his or her own personal branding to share with a client \u2013 they can do that, too. And it can all be done quickly and easily on a smartphone!\u201d<\/p>\n
The SunStats\u2019 Dashboard and Chart Builder are now available and accessible to members; however, the research department is still working on the final elements of the Report Builder. That feature should be ready to debut later this year.<\/p>\n
O\u2019Connor says, \u201cWhen it comes down to it, real estate professionals need access to reliable market data in order to make good business decisions and provide expert market advice to their clients. SunStats is really about unlocking the full potential of our market statistics for our Realtor members and putting the power in their hands. And this is really only the beginning. The capabilities of SunStats will continue to expand over time, with exciting plans in the works \u2013 so members should stay tuned.\u201d<\/p>\n
