Week of May 4, 2008


This weeks tip covers "Flowers add appeal and Value to your home"

1. Colorful flowers can have a positive impact on homebuyers. Plant a mix of colors and types to create a positive "Curb Appeal".

2. Bright colors like marigolds,impatients, pansies, petunias or snapdragons are some low cost flowers to work with.

3. Plant in flower boxes or pots so you have the flexibility to move the plants around, creating a different setting from week to week.

4. Use plant food once every two weeks and water daily as needed.

5. Plant early,  so you don't have to wait weeks for a great-looking result.




Based on the quality of our data, AccuriZ can produce different statistical reports to provide a macro overview of a community or for specific purposes; detailed statistical reports can be produced given specific levels of stratification. Some common statistical studies are as  follows:
-Site Characteristics
-Building Improvements
-Additional Structures
-Property Sales
-Property Assessments


While other organizations have access to some of our underlying data, critical elements of our data, and most importantly all of our algorithms, are proprietary to MJW. The main drawback of most valuation or reassessment resources is that they broadly estimate property value changes based on some other index (like the CPI) which is, at best, an estimate.  The resulting numbers can be wrong by 20% or more, which we believe is far too wrong to be valuable.



AccuriZ serves three main audiences: Government agencies, professional organizations such as financial institutions, insurance companies and real estate developers, and individuals, the people who buy and sell homes every day in the United States.
