The previous Home Sales Report feature on RMLSweb was known to be slow and sometimes inefficient. Therefore, in February 2011, the RMLS™ Board of Directors voted to approve a project for 2011 that would involve rewriting the Home Sales Report feature. This rewrite included redesigning the User Interface, as well as the generated reports themselves.
Now, the updated Home Sales Reports, in addition to the new User Interface, are available for subscribers’ use! To access the Home Sales Reports, go to the RMLSweb Desktop page. Next, locate the “Statistics” menu at the top of the screen and select “Home Sales Report” from the menu options. The new Home Sales Report feature utilizes dropdown and multiple-select fields to allow for a quicker and easier user experience. View our new tutorial, Utilizing Home Sales Reports to learn more.
Here is an example of the new User Interface for the Home Sales Report feature (feel free to click on it for a larger view):
Notice the four new report options under the Generate Report column. Part of our redesign included adding the option of viewing four separate reports for the following:
NOTE: For reports prior to July 2011, you will not be able to view the four different report options. All reports through June 2011 will stay in the old one-page format.
The new User Interface allows for a maximum of 35 area reports to be selected. Also, users can select multiple regions or reports by using the Ctrl or Shift keys.
In addition to the new User Interface and additional report options, we also revised the generated reports to more closely resemble data collected by the National Association of Realtors®. For example, we added additional price classes to better portray the market (this change will only affect the newly created reports from July 2011 on). The highest price class that the old reports offered was for listings that were “Over 500,000” (in dollars). With the new report, we have added the following options for Type Price Class:

This year’s Subscriber Satisfaction Survey was a great success. Thank you to everyone who took the time to participate! We had a total of 2,199 subscribers answer the survey, which is about 20.7% of all RMLS™ subscribers.
As incentive to participate, we gave away a free quarter of RMLS™ dues to TWO randomly selected subscribers who took the survey. Our lucky winners were Whitney Thill and John Goldhammer! We also gave away a Starbucks giftcard to the 2,011th survey respondent. The Starbucks card winner was Amy Asivido. Congratulations to our winners!
Our Next Steps:
Every comment will be read over by a small team of RMLS™ staff and sorted into categories. Then, comments that need a response will be answered via email or phone by the appropriate RMLS™ staff member. The survey responses will be graphed and shown to the RMLS™ Board of Directors, and the feedback will be used to help decide on projects for the upcoming year.
Thanks again! Your feedback is valued!
