Property Search Engine

Home Sales Transactions

Brokerages and real estate agents need to have the most recent information available to provide to consumers. Community demographics and points of interest are not enough anymore as educated consumers look for in-depth property information during their search. Providing recent home sales to the consumer whether through drip marketing or on a website, gives insight in to how the local market is performing. This in turn gives the buyer or seller more data to analyze as they decide if they want to buy or sell a house.

Weekly updates to our data will ensure that the user is able to look at the most recent data in the market. Grouped with our AVM and Home Sales Trending clients can keep users on their sites longer and keep them from having to access this information elsewhere.

Automated Valuation Model (AVM)

Home owners often monitor the value of not only their house but other houses in their neighborhood. A decision whether or not now is the time to sell can be based on their perceived value of a house. Real estate web sites can increase the traffic to their site, and especially the amount of time spent on their site, by offering this valuable information to users. Onboard’s Automated Valuation Model (AVM) is a premium valuation tool that clients can utilize to access home values across the country.

Onboard’s AVM takes a very ‘scientific’ approach to valuation. Typical AVM models tend to rely solely on nearby sales in their calculations.  Our AVM tool is vastly different. We use over 15,000 separate geographic segments to determine property values. Some other data elements that are included are distressed property trends and volumes, property tax values and trends, repeat sales information and much more. Each property is run through multiple valuation engines as well.
