Watch Your market area or areas of interest for REI.

Things are always changing.

to send a list of recent solds for the zips in our area, and then we focus in on these areas.

In response to your inquiry user named Flare, I utilize both the local agents of the city and also Chamber of Commerce of the particular city you are researching.Best Wishes in obtaining the results you are seeking.

Get an agent in whatever city or town your looking to invest in and ask them to get you a list of cash sold in the last 90 days. You get a local map and with that list you start to sort out what area codes are houses selling the most. And your agent should be able to tell you how long the houses were on the market before they sold.

Thank you all that have responded. This site ROCKS. I know that a REA could get that information, but after asking >60+ REAs (so far) I'm finding none to play ball. I was investigating other opions. Mike I'll look at the link provided.

Reynold, Broward County has many cities and quite easly covered by any local REA. My concern also extends to other parts of the ****ry as well. There are others in my network wanting to wholesale and it might be easier to know this information.

To all, thanks again and happy ninvesting

I literally just posted this same thing somewhere else, but it applies here too.

Blitz Wholesaling-- The webinar mentions use of Microsoft Mappoint because it shows you income down to the CENSUS TRACT level, many are within a zipcode. The guru guy claims that income correlates to the comps, so it will help you in evaluating which comps you should consider and throw out.
I personally have not tried this approach but it sounded legit.

Also try the ask your agent for all cash sales within the last 90 days tactic and map it out, it has always been pretty obvious in my areas.

For working around the country with other people i recommend:
Connected Investors
Linked in and Facebook (Obviously)

I have an awesome system for finding REA's let me know if you want it. Its probably on here somewhere but if not ill dig it up for you.

Thomas,

I've heard about Microsoft Mappoint and it cost money (of which I don't have it to spare). I thought there maybe someone here that might have knowledge of a program/system that would work. Thank you nonetheless..

will let you know where the 'growth' is happening along with new construction

Thanks Mike. It will help me in my local market. However, If you know of better software/website that I can use (other than Mappoint).

I rediscovered Zillow.com to get an idea on what areas are hot selling areas (no by zip codes). It has many tools you can use for reaserch. Thanks everyone.

to find recent solds; there are boxes (for sale, sold, foreclosures, for rent) that you check off, and you can actually enter a zip code and ask for solds only; however, some data may be older, but it definitely gives you a good idea of where sales are happening.

Good luck!

Thanks for that reminder. I have seen that but not really used zillow in that manner. I will have to try that myelf when I am wanting instant info.

I use my agents to find this info out for me. I get my agents to work with me because I do things for them! I provide them with listings all the time. Sellers that want way too much money for the deal to work for me, I just refer them to my realtor. It pays off in the long run believe me.

In Google (or your fav search engine), type in your city name followed by the words, "heat map". It'll take you to Trulia U.S. Heatmap and the section w/your search criteria. It shows home prices displayed on an interactive Heat Map, with most and least popular neighborhoods and ZIP codes, average/median home sales, etc.

After a second look at Zillow I see what you can do. Michael, REAs are the best sourses for this but I'm still looking for one to play ball with me. Liz, I'll give it a look see. Thanks.

And to ALL my DG family, Happy Easter (if you celebrate).

In the absence of a realtor, go to melissadata.com and build a mailing list. Select a zip code, select absentee owner (likely investor), property type, sale date range. You can also select price range if you wish. It will give you a count of how many fit your criteria in that zip code. Repeat for other zip codes. Doesn't take that long, but then you can plot out the zip codes with the most investor activity.

you can also google "ft lauderdale board of realtors" and click "research" in the orange area

Thanks Thomas, It's going in the toolket. It has many possibilities. As for "ft lauderdale board of realtors", I couldn't understand that part. I'll keep at it.

I gleaned an amazing assortment of resources besides Real Estate Agents for market info from this thread...while there may be others, this is a good start! Thanks to all who shared.

As for "ft lauderdale board of realtors", I couldn't understand that part. I'll keep at it.
...I was assuming you were in the Ft Lauderdale area. if you google that phrase, the first result will take you to their web site. There is a tab called "Research" in the orange colored section that will give you access to a boat load of market reports.
