Market Reports for IDX Broker Platinum
IDX Broker just released their new Market Reports tool for all Platinum users this week. Take a look at the video at the bottom of the page to see it in action.
What are IDX Broker Market Reports?
Market Reports from IDX Broker provide information based on a city in your MLS area.
These reports show the numbers of active listings by property type for the city. There are also some nice graphs showing property information and demographic data for your area.
One of the things that you will love on these is that there is a "VIEW ALL ACTIVE LISTINGS" link that allows your visitors to go look at all of the properties available in the city.
There is also a nice "Signup" call to action that prompts your visitors to get an email alert when there are changes in the data on the Market Graph.
These emails are a great way for you to keep in touch with your clients and your prospects. The emailed data graph will keep you and your brand "top of mind" for your visitors.
How much do Market Reports cost?
IDX Broker Market Reports are FREE for all of their IDX Broker Platinum users.
