The Real Estate Market Reference is a unique compendium of market by market rankings in one hundred fifty-one categories, and is an indispensable tool for the emerging market investor or real estate professional.
The Reference includes our proprietary Multifamily and Single Family Market Fundamental Scores and their component subscores, otherwise unavailable except for our newsletter subscribers. There is no other comparably priced resource available at this point in time that provides detailed market by market rankings for the emerging market real estate investor.
The Reference is updated every three months, and published in late January, April, July and October.
For each of the one hundred fifty-one categories included in the report a ranked list of the top 25 markets we’re tracking from across the nation is provided, along with appropriate commentary as to the sourcing, derivation, and analysis of the information.
Single issues are normally $150, though are now offered at a discounted price of $75 through the first quarter of 2009; a one year subscription (4 issues) is normally $300, and will be offered during the first quarter of 2009 at a discounted price of $150.
