Jeffrey David…, Real Estate Pro in Morristown

To Trulia, why are there no statistics for any communities in Morris County, N J in the trends sect

Asked Wed Aug 6 2008, 09:14 by Jeffrey David…  -  All locations  -  Using Trulia  -  2 answers
Chris Conway answered:
Hi Jeffrey,

Here's a map of Morris County, NJ home prices by zip code.
http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/New_Jersey/Morris_County-h…

We have list price data at the city level on the pages below.
http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Chester-New_Jersey/
http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Morristown-New_Jersey/

Median sale price data is available as well, but it's not broken down by bedroom count because our public records for this county don't include bedroom information.

Hope this helps, and let us know if you have further questions.

Matt Wieczki…, Real Estate Pro in Phoenix

What is a definition of 'year-over-year' (y-o-y) from the heat maps?

Asked Sun Jul 6 2008, 12:13 by Matt Wieczki…  -  All locations  -  Using Trulia  -  1 answer
Chris Conway answered:
Hi Matt-

"y-o-y" represents the percent change in value from the prior year period to the current year period. For example, on the Phoenix Heat Map below, the median sales price for North Phoenix from April - June 2008 was $225,000.

http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/Arizona/Phoenix-heat_map/

This is the median sales price for transactions that occurred during that 90 day time period. The y-o-y change is listed as 0.2%. This means that the median sales price increased 0.2% from the prior year period (April - June 2007) to the current year period (April - June 2008).

If you look at our North Phoenix Stats & Trends page, and look the Median Sales Price for North Phoenix, you can see the median sales price for the prior year period compared to the current year period.

Hi Anthony-

Can you give us some more detail on which data set you are trying to get historical information for?
(historical listing or sold data, agent featured listing or banner report, or other...)

Matt, Home Buyer in Happy Valley

The chart is of no value. Data is corrupted: http://www.trulia.com/real_estate/Happy_Valley-Oregon/

Asked Mon May 5 2008, 22:07 by Matt  -  Happy Valley  -  Home Buying  -  2 answers
Chris Conway answered:
Matt,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. The volume of 2br sales in Happy Valley is very low in any given period. Our historical data includes a $7.2 million transaction in 2005 for a 2br property. With the low sales volume in the area, this transaction is skewing the summary data and chart. We've asked our data provider to verify the accuracy of this particular transaction. Thanks again for the information,

Bryn, Home Buyer in 11741

There isn't any 2008 sales data in Suffolk, New York. What's gone wrong?!?

Asked Sat May 10 2008, 22:23 by Bryn  -  11741  -  Using Trulia  -  7 answers
Chris Conway answered:
Bryn,

You can look up specific homes that have sold in the last 9 months for any city or zip code. This page below shows recently sold homes for the 11741 zip code.
http://www.trulia.com/NY/Holbrook/11741/#sold/11741_zip/

Also, our heat maps are a good way to visualize price trends in an area. Check out our Suffolk County heat map with list price and sale price data by zip code.
http://www.trulia.com/home_prices/New_York/Suffolk_County-heat_map

There can be a lag from the time that a sale is closed to the time that the county or other local office makes the public record data available to third parties, including our data provider.

Hope this helps-

Doing my best to lower my handicap on the golf course. Excited to be playing in Tucson, Las Vegas, South Carolina, and Miami (Doral: Blue Monster & Great White) later this year.

Also enjoy biking, hiking, and other outdoor activities that go easy on my surgically repaired knee (twice).
