OK so you can’t possible think of something to put on your real estate blog. How about statistics? There isn’t a home owner or home buyer out there who doesn’t want to know what the real estate market is doing yet statistics is one of the hardest things to find on the Internet. I know that some MLS systems even have built in reports and if you are allowed to use graphs or charts from them even better. Even if you can’t use their charts you can quickly create your own using Microsoft Excel or another spreed sheet program. So we thought we would give you:

6 Great Reasons to use stats in your real estate blog or real estate website

1. Statistics are hard to find - Try seeing what sold last month in an area without using the MLS. It is so difficult it is unfair. Think how home owners and home buyers would view your knowledge if you let them know about what is going on.
2. They are valuable - Everyone needs to know what is happening. Tired of losing a listing presentation because someone said the market is doing better than it is. What if you became the source?
3. Consumers want them - Home buyers and sellers need to know what is going on and they are searching for it. They are just having a hard time locating it.
4. Others aren’t doing it - It is always better to be first rather than last. Just because everyone has access to the data(Realtors(R)) doesn’t mean they are letting people know about it. Let consumers know.
5. They always change so it is always something new to write - One of the hardest things to do sometimes is come up with something new to write. Thankfully someone is always buying or selling so numbers will change. Even if no one is buying or selling you can still show that as well!
6. It makes for great charts & Graphs - Having visuals is great because it makes your blog different and more interesting to your readers. You can create charts in literally minutes with Microsoft Excel.

So go forth and add stats to your blog or website and become the source for information.
