Click link to Houston Business Journal article below stating the Lanier’s River Oaks golf course home just sold for $6.2M by a J. Daughery agent at $795,000 below the asking price…it also mentions the interim price point reductions along the way (started at $12M and slashed to $8.3M in June 2010) and how it took a total of 1,046 days to sell it! [Bob Lanier was mayor of Houston from 1992 to 1998, so he is well known to many readers of the HBJ.]
EEEPS! How did they get this info???
A new website is now operational that discloses to the public … direct from our MLS .... the days on market… SOLD price and other historical price data… and their home page says the data is updated every 10 minutes. The website is open to EVERYONE … agents, brokers and the public .. all anyone has to do is register.
Another Houston Business Journal article published in February, when they launched, provides additional information about the realtor behind this business model.
Soooo consumers can now run their own comps, they can research any agent's sales performance, by neighborhood, basis days on market for the agents listings ... or see for themselves the days on market between each price drop. How long was it on the market before they dropped the pricce and how much was each price drop?
I can only imagine the impact this will/can have on other internet websites like .... Zillow's zestimates.... and other products as well. Verrrry interesting.

======
SMARTePLANS® have photos embedded inside the floor plan that launch with a mouse click .... each photo arrow is positioned in the plan where the photographer was standing --- so you can see where he was and what he was aiming at when he took the shot ... in relationship to the drawing. Beneath the photo is a description of that room. Once the photo launches you have a choice to link back to the floor plan and choose another photo, or read the amenities text for the WHOLE property (not just that particular room). All the files are inter-linked so you can seamlessly click around this property, viewing the photos and reading the descriptions. This is not a video ... you choose what you want to view ... or not
[NOTE: SMARTePLANS® are PDF files so they magnify to over 6400%. When the file launches, you can zoom by using the tool bar. Every time you tap the plus key inside the circle the view screen enlarges (the minus key shrinks the magnification) Using the scroll bars on the bottom and the side, its easy to move around inside the file, and then magnifying the features you want to see.]
