I also responded but you did not address any of my comments. I thought many of my points were valid and I was hoping you would address them. Again, as a Realtor and an engineer my main problem is the presentation of the data. I believe there is a systemic failure in that presentation which then leads to faulty analysis. I am not insinuating that there is anything behind it, yet it is very sad because I have to spend a substantial amount of time at listing appointments educating people. When they ask me why there are not any stats about cancelled, expireds and withdrawns I don’t have a good answer. When I perform my own statiscal analysis of there zip code and throw out the extreme high and low listings that is also useful. Using active to pending ratios also gives them a more realistic view. When you tell a seller hey for your home there is 1 pending and 16 actives and 5 solds but 4 cancelled, and 3 expireds in a given timeframe it really changes there outlook and is much more effective then a 1% MEDIAN sales price reduction from year over year sales.
Again this is not an attack on you. This is the way it goes at most all of my listing appointments.
