It can take time to build up a broad understanding of the RE market in the US.

I don't know of a service that provides this.The NAR and local state real estate commissions track certain data but it varies by state.One state can have 2 mls's for that state and another could have one for every other county.So with broad data is basically useless as you are trying to extract data in your local marketplace.You could track how many agents in the county by the REALTOR board but it would not include non-REALTORS.You can get tracking data from your local state commission but they charge you for it.What are you trying to do with this data??

Does anyone have experience with Broad Financial?
