Display Current Real Estate Inventories

Jim Kimmons
The display you see in the image can be customized for colors and other characteristics to better fit into your website or blog. But, the important thing is that this tutorial will result in you having this display and an easy five minute entry routine to keep it updated. This is information your serious real estate market watchers will value, and it's likely you'll be the only place they know about to get it in your market.

Important - If you haven't already set up a Zoho Creator Account, you need to start with that tutorial here. Plus, the tutorial at the link shows you where to go to install these free forms to your Zoho account. Then come back to this one, as you'll be much better able to follow along and get it done.

Once you've gone through the tutorial on setting up the account and the Web Lead Form at that link, this one should be easy for you. We want to regularly update current inventory numbers to allow a site visitor to watch market movements over time. Notice the scroll bar on the right. They can scroll backward in time through your entries. I try to do mine at least once a week.

In the next screen, you'll see the form that we use to enter the data for the display. This is the "Stats Daily" form.
