Real estate market report for the area you care about
National headlines say prices are up or down, but what matters is your street, your neighborhood and your type of home. Your todo.is agent gathers public listing data, recent sale reports, rents and local news for the area you choose, and writes a market report with charts and sources, for buyers, sellers, investors or clients.
The prompt
- Write a real estate market report for [AREA], focused on [PROPERTY TYPE]. It's for [WHO IT IS FOR]. Use public sources: listing sites, recent sales data if public, official housing statistics, rental listings and local news. Cover: current asking prices and price per square meter or foot, how that compares with 12 months ago, number of active listings, typical days on market, typical rents and gross rental yield, new developments or zoning changes, and what's driving the market. Show where data is thin. End with [WHAT I NEED TO DECIDE]. Deliver a 4 to 6 page PDF with charts and every source linked. Send me an updated version every [HOW OFTEN].
What to change
- [AREA]: A city, neighborhood or postcode, e.g. "East Austin, 78702" or "Bristol BS3".
- [PROPERTY TYPE]: e.g. "2-bedroom apartments" or "single-family homes under $600k".
- [WHO IT IS FOR]: e.g. "me as a first-time buyer", "my landlord clients" or "a newsletter for sellers".
- [WHAT I NEED TO DECIDE]: e.g. "is now a good time to sell?" or "what rent to ask".
- [HOW OFTEN]: e.g. "month", "quarter", or write "never" for one report.
Example result
- Market report: 2-bedroom flats, Bristol BS3
- For: a homeowner deciding whether to sell this spring. All figures are illustrative examples based on public listings and statistics; check the linked sources.
- Summary
- Prices in BS3 are roughly flat to slightly up over 12 months. More homes are for sale than last year and they take longer to sell, so buyers have more choice and more room to negotiate.
- Prices
- • Median asking price for 2-bed flats: about 3% higher than a year ago
- • Price per square meter: highest near the river and the main high street, lower toward the ring road
- • Official price index for the wider city: small rise over the year, slower than the year before
- • About 1 in 4 listings had a price reduction in the last 3 months
- Supply and speed
- • Active 2-bed listings: up about 15% on last year
- • Typical time from listing to "sale agreed": around 7 weeks, up from about 5
- Rents
- • Typical asking rent for a 2-bed: steady, a little above the city average
- • Gross rental yield: about 4.5% on a typical asking price
- What's driving it
- • Higher mortgage rates than two years ago are limiting what buyers can borrow
- • A new apartment development of about 120 homes is due to complete next year (planning documents linked)
- • The area stays popular with young professionals for its cafés, parks and commute
- For your decision
- Spring usually brings more buyers. With longer selling times, price realistically from day one: well-presented flats near recent sales are selling, overpriced ones are being cut. Get 2 or 3 local agent valuations to compare with this report.
- Data notes
- • Asking prices are not sale prices; final prices are often lower.
- • Small areas have few sales, so one unusual sale can move the average.
How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in the area, property type, audience and decision.
- Send it in todo.is. Attach your own data, like a list of recent sales, if you have it.
- Your agent collects public data, writes the report with charts and links, and sends the PDF.
- Set it to monthly or quarterly and ask for "what changed since last report" at the top.
Tips for a better result
- Keep the area small and the property type specific. A city-wide average hides big differences.
- Remember asking prices aren't sale prices. Ask your agent to use official sold data where it's public.
- Look at days on market and price cuts. They often show a turning market before prices do.
- For client reports, ask your agent to remember your branding and tone for each update.
real estate market report: FAQ
- What is in a real estate market report? Usually prices and how they changed, number of listings, days on market, rents and yields, new supply, and local factors like jobs, transport or zoning.
- How accurate are AI real estate reports? They are as good as the public data behind them. Your agent links every source and notes where data is thin, but a local agent or appraiser knows details listings don't show.
- Can agents use this for client newsletters? Yes. Many realtors send a monthly area update. Your agent can write it in your voice and deliver it as PDF or email text for you to send.
- Is this investment advice? No. It's a summary of public market data. Talk to a licensed professional before big decisions.
