Real Estate Market Reports

PGCAR Offers SmartCharts ProTM as a Member Benefit

We all know that the internet has changed the real estate business in many ways. Among them is the fact that well over 95% of customers and prospects actively use the internet when selling or buying.
While there's a good deal of helpful information out there, there's also what we call TMBI - Too Much Bad Information.

This includes the AVMs (Automated Valuation Models) featured by most consumer websites.
For Prince George's County, per Zillow stats, their ZestimateTM accuracy has a median variance of 8.7%, which for a $255,000 listing (PG median for 2016) means the range of value can fall between $233,000 and $277,000. Human nature being what it is, $277k sticks in the seller's mind. Members tell us that ZestimatesTM often hurt rather than help customer interaction.

So how does an agent deal with the new internet-driven reality? In addition to preparing a solid CMA, there's also a great new tool to help, SmartCharts ProTM from RBI.
