Rt. 66, here’s why I dislike R/T and why I am skeptical about some of the data, perhaps the owner of forecloure radar can help explain some of it.
I just ran my zip code on realtytrac, foreclosure radar and foreclosure dot com. Wildly different results and R/T is always the highest.
R/T
704 nods
424 nots
537 bank owned
Radar
580 nods
302 nots
183 bank owned
f dot com
719 nods and nots (they combine them)
330 bank owned
Combined nod not for r/t is 30-50% more than the other 2 services and the bank owned is 3x what radar says. It makes me go hmmm, and sometimes causes me to pooh pooh the data from all of them.
How do three websites using the same county recorders office get wildly different numbers?
It’s like three network news weather guys, one says it will be 60 one says it will be 80 and one says it will be 100, just because you are planning to hang by the pool, don’t listen to the guy who says it will be hot and ignore the rest, they could all be wrong, at least two of them are.
I say you listen to all three weather guys, then look outside, then look at your own thermometer, then talk to the old guys at the barber shop and even if after all that, you decide to wear shorts, bring a jacket just in case.
BTW, Thanks for the compliment, see, even we can get along.
