The New Market Snapshot


What is it?
The Sears Team is offering East Layton Friends and Neighbors a fabulous new and free service! It is called 'Market Snapshot.' Market Snapshot offers a bimonthly analysis of current housing market conditions in a specific neighborhood.
 
How can it benefit me?
As a home owner or future home owner, it is important to keep up with current housing conditions. A home is usually one of the most significant investments a person owns. Taxes and other assessments are determined by the appraised value of a home. The appraised value is determined by the current housing market. If you plan on buying or selling a home, it becomes even more important to stay current on the local housing market conditions. Market Snapshot offers you an easy way to keep informed on what is happening in your neighborhood.

What's in it? 
Market Snapshot reports on current housing market activity in the neighborhood you choose to view. It includes data such as:
* Homes Sold     *Properties for Sale   * Inventory Counts    *Days on the Market     * Asking Prices    *Selling Prices    * Cost per Square Foot     *Charts and Graphs Showing Averages   * Addresses    *Photos   *Maps (Check out the Bird's Eye View!)    *Local Schools and Businesses    *Property Descriptions (Number of Bedrooms, Square Feet, etc.)  *Much, Much More!
Most sections of the report have areas that you can click on for more details.

How do I sign up?
It's quick and easy. Click on the link below. Fill in the blanks of the form using the address or zip code that you would like the information to be about. The Sears Team will sent you the information in an email. You can also sign up to receive an automatic update of the Market Information at an interval of your choice.

What if I need help interpreting the data? How do I calculate the current value of my home or one I wish to buy?
 The Sears Team can help you determine what the data means for you. There are many 'intangibles' behind this data, such as whether homes were fixed up or not, special amenities and the like. The Sears Team can get these details for you and help you determine where your home fits in the current market. The Sears Team has the expertise to help you interpret this information more fully and would love to do so.
