Determining what properties sell best in an area

[Samir Pathak]

Hey BP - I'm in the process of identifying what types of properties I'd like to focus on for flipping in a given area.  I'd like to base this on what type of housing sells best in the area.  For example, in J Scott's flipping book, he sites an example where 318 houses sold in his target area and only 2% of them had less than 2 bathrooms.

Is this type of data already calculated somewhere?  Or, would I pull a list of sold houses and figure it out that way?

I'm brand new to flipping and am excited to get started!  Thanks in advance!

Target areas: San Francisco Bay Area Concord Martinez Pittsburg Antioch San Pablo San Jose Contra Costa County Santa Clara County
