1. What’s for sale? IDX Search
2. How much is my house worth? CMA
3. How’s the market? This is your opening! What’s different about this
question from the other two?

When they ask, “How’s the market?”
“I want to participate, show me how I can/why I should?” They know the market is bad… But how is it good for them?
A “buying” signal Buying your services – they need an
expert Compelling to action – they want

Get Local!
Be specific!Days-on-Market by “Quartile”
DoM in most expensive price segment (black line) compared to middle & lower price segments

Market Analysis by Price Level (“Quartile”)
Quartile 1: Most expensive 25% of propertiesQuartile 2: Top Middle 25%Quartile 3: Bottom Middle 25%Quartile 4: Least expensive 25% of properties
Example: 80 homes for sale in a market (city or zip code) 4 "quartiles" (groups) each have 20
properties based on individual property prices.
Allows for market definition by price, not just geography
Be unique! Where are new sellers pricing?
