How often do home values actually change?

The Rhythm of Home Values

1. 1

   Closing and recording lag

   A price agreed in one month usually is not public record until a month or two later, after closing and recording.

2. 2

   Ignore daily swings

   Homes do not gain or lose thousands of dollars on a Tuesday afternoon. Daily changes in online estimates are model noise, not real market moves.

3. 3

   Match your cadence to the data

   Because the underlying data refreshes about monthly, a monthly update for active prospects (and quarterly for most others) stays fresh without overwhelming anyone.
