In El Dorado Hills CA during the same 7/13 to 7/20 period 33 homes went pending status and 17 had multiple offers.This is not to say that as a market we are short on inventory, however the accuracy of data provided is very important.

I'd be concerned as to their accuracy and experience in preparing them. $800 for a 1065 alone is cheap. 

Knowledge of property cycles and of neighbourhood/city growth is essential to be able to predict it with the degree of accuracy that you would want if this was your property diversification portion of your portfolio.Broadly speaking rejuvenation projects, that is developing property that is in severe decline to increase the Usage Value ( an industry standard term to quantify the maximum possible return on your investment that a land parcel could yield in a given market given it's zoning) is normally the most lucrative type of appreciation category.

I'm also hoping I'm picking the right metrics people care about... if not would love to learn what metrics people prioritize and prefer.See sample output below (note this is just illustrative sample output and does not reflect accuracy - this will get better once I actually dig into the numbers and validate them).

If you can get a credit towards closing costs for the total amount of repairs (with written quotes for accuracy) then I would lean that way.

We take comments like these very seriously and I have reviewed the transaction in detail so I can speak with accuracy about what happened.

Not 100% satisfied with their customer service and accuracy.

We solve the data problem by working with the industry's best data vendors that have applied a lot of post-processing and enrichment to the original government sources, or have collected their own proprietary data.Not all of those vendors are equal in terms of accuracy, and we learned this the hard way through experience -- I come from the commercial real estate research world, and my co-founder from the retail site selection & revenue forecasting world.

They should, with relative accuracy, be able to give you their basic outlines before you buy the property.

One of the big ticket items folks miss are holding costs. you need to figure your expenses on this to same level of accuracy.
