Every week, real estate professionals face the same challenge: making sense of overwhelming market data. Whether you're tracking median home prices across neighborhoods, analyzing days on market, or comparing year-over-year sales volumes, the numbers tell a story—but only if you know how to listen.

Traditional spreadsheet analysis can take hours of manual work, leaving you with static reports that are outdated before you finish them. What if you could simply ask your data questions in plain English and get instant, visual answers?

Housing Market Analysis in Action

Let's walk through some real-world scenarios where housing market trend analysis transforms decision-making:

📈 Pricing Strategy Analysis

A real estate agent needed to price a 3-bedroom home in a rapidly changing market. Instead of relying on outdated comparables, she imported recent sales data and asked Sourcetable: 'Show me price trends for 3-bedroom homes within 0.5 miles, sold in the last 90 days.'

The AI instantly created a scatter plot showing price per square foot over time, revealing that similar homes had increased 8% in just the past month. She priced the home accordingly and received multiple offers within 48 hours.

🏘️ Market Shift Detection

A property investment firm noticed unusual activity in their target neighborhoods. They uploaded monthly sales data and asked: 'Which areas show the biggest change in average days on market compared to last year?'

Sourcetable highlighted three neighborhoods where homes were selling 40% faster than the previous year, indicating emerging hot spots. The firm redirected their acquisition strategy and secured properties in these areas before prices spiked.

📊 Inventory Analysis

A mortgage broker wanted to understand supply constraints affecting her clients. She combined MLS listings data with historical sales and asked: 'What's the months of inventory trend by price range over the past year?'

The analysis revealed that homes under $400K had only 1.2 months of inventory (a severe shortage), while luxury homes above $800K had 8.5 months of supply. This insight helped her counsel clients on realistic timelines and competitive strategies.
