Housing Predictor Goes From Secret To Public
February 27, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Technology News
It wasn’t just a vision. It was passion that built Housing Predictor.com, which provides more than 250 local housing market forecasts in all 50 U.S. states. For two years those working on Housing Predictor were sworn to secrecy not to tell even their closest friends and family about what they were working on. It wasn’t some Top secret Double-07 type project played out by James Bond. Housing Predictor was a rare project, the first of its kind and only the seven people who worked on the site knew completely what it was all about.
Housing Predictor provides information people have long demanded on a wide scale. The worry was someone or some company hearing about the site could some how produce it much faster with a larger staff.
Housing Predictor is one of the fastest growing web sites on the internet and the only site to provide housing market forecasts that are regularly updated and changed to meet local market demands and also provide real estate listings nationwide, including the latest foreclosures in today’s changing real estate market for communities all over the nation.
Housing markets change erratically and are essentially studied by small groups of local real estate agents, title companies and bankers all in an effort to recognize what is occurring in their markets. On a daily on going basis only very few people study their local real estate markets along with a keen group of investors, who take advantage of the marketplace to gain opportunities to capitalize on successful financial investments in real estate.
Now Housing Predictor has changed that, revolutionizing the industry with significant information on local real estate markets, including forecasts all over the nation.
Everyday the seven members of the staff would come to work with a sort of built up passion to invent something new. As the hours passed into days and months and the development of what would become Housing Predictor progressed the thought of just how revolutionary the site would be came into reality. Providing unbiased forecasts and information on any subject is tough enough, but in real estate the crystallization of just how rare that would be came into being whether it was good news or bad.
The economists joined the researchers to gather information from across the country from hundreds of sources. The economists would eventually pour over the statistical data and produce their forecasts based on thousands of factors, including local economic conditions, employment, job growth, construction, local business patterns and political influences in each of the more than 250 local markets.
The dynamics of people who work on something like Housing Predictor are a rare breed. The staff worked 14 to 18 hours a day seven days a week to produce the site like it is today. Housing Predictor was built on the passion to provide unbiased information that would not be tainted by any special interests.
The forecasts on each housing market have been thoroughly researched in today’s changing economic environment, and are constantly reviewed as conditions change and are updated.
As Housing Predictor grew from it’s infancy the site has taken on it’s own personality of sorts and will evolve into the next generation of real estate on the web.
