Current Inventory and Absorption Rate Display Code - Free and Easy

By , About.com Guide

Following these three short tutorials in order, you'll end up with statistics displays for your website or blog. You can blow away competitor sites with data about current inventories and absorption rates, and do it with only about 20 minutes work a week. As a bonus, you'll get a free lead capture form, and you'll learn how to use these tools to build your own custom forms in the future.

1. Getting Your Free Zoho Creator Account & Your Lead Capture Form

In this first tutorial, you'll get your free Zoho Creator account set up, and you'll download the free application I've designed with the ready-to-use website forms for statistics and lead capture. Do these three steps in order, as you build on each with the knowledge for the next one. It won't take long, and you'll have custom statistics displays on your website or blog. In this step, if you need it, there's also the lead capture form that will email you the results when visitors fill it in.

2. Displaying Current Inventory Statistics

In this tutorial, you'll get the ready-to-use current inventory statistics display code and the form you'll fill in to create the display. Again, it's about ten minutes a week, and your site will update the display automatically from the numbers you enter in the form. Easy and fast using the reported numbers from your MLS.

3. The Inventory Absorption Rate Display and Form

Differentiate yourself in your market as a local real estate expert with displayed data on absorption rates.
