According to Rob Cook, the 2009 MLS Chairman and the Houston Association of Realtors, we met a few milestones back in August and I wanted to share them with you.

I have added a new feature to my home page that can tell you what your home is worth. When you submit your property address a custom, current Market Snapshot is created specifically for you and sent to your email in box within thirty minutes. The information gathered is the most current available from the Houston Multiple Listing Service Database. It provides information to help consumers see what other houses near them have sold for, how many days those houses spent on the market before selling, and selling prices of homes that are for sale. It provides the information in various forms including graphs and charts. Please feel free to use this service whether you are in the market to sell your home or not. It provides very useful information that all consumers should be aware of. If you have any questions about your market analysis please let me know and I will gladly go over it with you. I hope you find this information of value and will share it with your friends.
