The work today
Farming by hand
Agents look for areas with steady turnover, often five to eight percent a year, and piece the sales together themselves.
Seller-prediction tools lean on length of ownership and home improvement activity, both of them in the public record.
Every client question about a house means a trip through separate city sites.
