@Richard Phan I don't know exactly what kind of information you are looking for, but for some data here are a few:BLS.gov, Bestplaces.net, rentometer.com, city-data.com, neighborhoodscout.com, the city/towns website to look for development plans/issues etc.

Do you folks look at economic data before making a decision or starting out?

@David Lee Hall, III:Thank you for sharing.I started using Stessa a week ago and it spoiled me with automatic data entry during setup.

I went to U-Penn for graduate school and has been a data analyst since graduation.

I wonder if CoreLogic has a non-realtor specific version of either of these apps that would be available . . . when it comes to housing data I'd say they are the holders of the keys.Good luck on the hunt!

Using this data to compare the existing, planned and under construction properties to the project under consideration for development is a good first step.All of this data will be refined in a formal market study, but should give you a good sense of how the planned project "stacks up" against competing properties.

Hello All,I'm looking for recommendations for a data service.At the moment I'm most interested in two types of info.1.

I just realize how incomplete the data is on these sites though and am wondering if there are tools or sites that have more complete and accurate data.

Any insights on economic development, population movement and jobs diversity for Spartanburg, SC will be much appreciated.I have already used city-data for these markets, but the information is dated.

The answer to that is by using comparable sales data.
