As we look towards 2026, the ability to harness data-driven insights will be more important than ever for real estate operators, investors, and institutional buyers.

Understanding Listing Velocity

Listing velocity refers to the speed at which properties are listed and sold in the market. It is a critical indicator of market demand and can provide valuable insights into buyer and seller behavior. By analyzing listing velocity, real estate professionals can better understand market trends and make informed decisions.
