Housing Market Demand

How it Works: The Redfin Housing Demand Index is based on the number of customers requesting tours and making purchase offers in 15 major metro areas. The Tours and Offers Indices are based on customer demand in these same 15 Redfin markets. All indexes are deseasonalized, scaled to have an average value of 100 for the period 2013-2015, and are adjusted for Redfin market share. The metro-level Demand Index values are relative to each metro and thus not directly comparable with each other in value. To download the data, select the metro(s) desired, click on the visualization, and then hit the "Download" button on the bottom right corner. More information on how to use the Redfin Data Center is available in this video.

Visualization of the Week

This year for National Coffee Day (September 29), Redfin looked at the 100 largest cities that Walk Score and Redfin serve and found the top 10 with the most coffee shops per capita. We then stirred through the data to see how many of these coffee shops in each city are indie cafes versus large chains. (We defined large coffee chains as those with 30 or more retail locations.) The interactive visualization below shows the findings of the analysis on the top 10 cities, along with a map of coffee shops for each city. We also plotted all the locations of the largest coffee chains on a map. Read the full post here.

Insights from Our Agents & Experts

“Nearly all of Eastern Massachusetts is seeing bidding wars, and hot homes are scooped up two to three days after an open house. I can’t remember the last time we saw this across the board.” Peter Phinney, Redfin Agent, Boston

“Sellers are not just concerned with the price, but are also factoring in the buyer’s financial strength, the lender, the personal letter, the closing timing, the contingencies. Depending on their situation, sellers prioritize different things and so we tailor our offer strategy.” David Ehrenberg, Redfin Agent, Washington D.C.

"For competition-averse clients, I highlight homes that have been on the market for at least 30 to 60 days. These tend to be the ones that other buyers have passed on because don’t have the clearest listing photos or modern finishes.” Lamar Austin, Redfin Agent, Chicago

“The backlog of buyers for single-family homes means that demand isn’t likely to slow down anytime soon, even with the number of homes on the market increasing as much as it has. However, we’re starting to notice that condo prices are beginning to flatten.” Mark Colwell, Redfin Agent, San Francisco

In The Press

"When Glenn Kelman became the chief executive of his online real estate start-up, he defied the tech industry’s conventional wisdom about how to grow."

"Instead of hiring independent contractors, he brought in full-time employees and put them on the payroll — with benefits. That decision over a decade ago made Mr. Kelman and his company, Redfin, iconoclasts in the technology world."...

"The first picture they see is the front exterior, so if that's not good, they won't go any further," said David Yocum, a real estate agent with Redfin's Chicago office. "If there are no pictures online, the buyer assumes there's something really wrong with the house and isn't interested at all."...

Atlanta Redfin Agent, Adrian Smith suggests,"before you start looking at homes, put together a list of “must have” vs. “nice to have” features so that when you find a home that meets your needs, you can jump on it and feel good about your decision. This is especially important for couples who are shopping for homes together; you should know what your priorities are and what you’re willing to sacrifice."...
