Key Market Metrics

[Joe Kerner]

Hi everyone - just signed up for a bigger pockets account this evening. 

I'm 24 years old and live in St. Pete, Florida - I am new to real estate investing, I currently have no properties. 

I've been putting money aside for 3 years since I graduated college, and am looking to invest in my first property. 

I wanted to seek out recommendations - I've began to monitor the local real estate market, but am curious what metrics everyone uses while monitoring the market. 

I know that price/SQFT is a common metric, are there any other metrics used while monitoring the market?

I'm looking forward to connecting with everyone and learning and contributing to the community!
