Not only do we think it’s a good idea, many of you do too. There are a few questions we are asked regularly and something along the lines of  ”do you have any charts for my local market” is right up there at the top of the list. Accordingly, we are now producing personalized PDF’s for your Metro Area/MSA. Users of our State Charts will recognize many of the features on these including yearly appreciation and trend/performance per the Housing Price Index. Yet here, we go a little deeper too. On the second page, we are also including recent year and even quarterly data on median sale prices. Click here to download a sample.

We haven’t forgotten the supporting demographics and have also included local unemployment stats and highlighted state population patterns. The last graph really sums it all up by showing in detail, the performance over the last quarter, last year and most importantly, the growth over the last 5 and 10 years. This visually drives home the fact that despite short term volatility or price drops, values in many if not most areas have grown handsomely over the last 5 years and doubled over the last 10. Since these latter two time frames are in line with typical ownership periods, they are much more important for buyers/owners. No one likes it when their home price falls yet, there are only two prices that matter the most and those are what you pay and what you sell for.

Helping and showing those on the fence or the sidelines recognize that price dips are much more rare than appreciation in value can help them also recognize that buying low and holding on does more for building long term wealth than just about anything else.

As these are brand new, they are not yet posted on our site individually but are a special bonus available now for our current and new subscribers. If you’d like more information, click here- subscribe , call at 866-953-5550 or email info@estateofmindinc.com
