Version 2.8
NEW FEATURES
LIVE PROPERTY LISTINGS
You asked and we delivered! Live property listings has been our most requested feature, and we are happy to present to you our first version of property listings. Searches can include filters for seller motivation such as out of state owners and high equity! View property transactions, loan information, owner information including mailing addresses, and more.
LEAD LIST BUILDER
In tandem with live property listings, you can now build lead lists for prime properties you want to target. Then, download lead lists as CSVs for your own marketing purposes!
OVERHAULED APPRECIATION DATA
We have changed providers for our Appreciation Data to support more zip codes with higher comparable counts for more accurate trends! This especially provides higher-quality data for smaller population areas. Data is now viewable on a change over time basis by month rather than only annual comparisons, and can be viewed by line charts to understand trends better.
PRICE / SQUARE FOOT TRENDS
BrightInvestor now has Price/Square Foot trends which allows users to track the value of housing by square foot, which is often a more accurate predictor of a markets trend. Investors track this number to help understand what the trend is for housing and what rough value add can be achieved by adding more living space to a property.
PERSONALIZED PDFS & MAP PINS
PDFs have been upgraded to allow users to have their own logos, brand colors, photo, and contact details in the PDF! PDFs have also shifted to a landscape view so they can easily be integrated into slide deck presentations when looking to raise capital or present a deal. Landscape view combined with brand customization allows for continuity in presentations. Map pins can now be customized between 6 options as well as a build-your-own feature where you can add your own logo and custom color.
DARK MODE FOR USER INTERFACE
BrightInvestor now has a dark mode which is easily accessible on the top header! Switch between modes to avoid strain, or if that's just your preference!
MEDIAN DAYS ON MARKET
We now have data by Zip Code and City for for-sale property listings Median Days on Market. This helps to understand when a market is has high supply and low demand or the opposite. These trends are viewable per zip code as well as for the city overall by line graph.
NEW LISTINGS TRENDS
BrightInvestor now lets users see what the average number of new property for-sale listings are for a Zip Code or City per month! This data is viewable by color comparison as well as line graphs. This data can help to know if an area is a sellers market or a buyers market.
