Trend Analysis - the SMART way We've made the process of analyzing historical data & market trends simple. What is a Trend Analyzer? A Trend Analyzer is a tool that allows you to generate custom graphs and charts for historical data such as occupancy rates, absorption rates, effective rents and more. You can “focus in” on specific segments of the market to maximize the value of these reports. For example, you can generate a Rent History graph for all 1 bedroom plans in Downtown, built after 2003, excluding senior and section 8 housing.  Screenshot below. Comparing Trends To gain a better understanding of market trends it’s often useful to compare multiple trends on the same graph. For example, comparing the above 1 bedroom graph (blue) to 2 bedroom plans. SMART automatically color codes your graphs and adjusts the graph scale to accentuate variances. Screenshot below. Trend Categories We offer a rich portfolio of trends categories (shown below) and also have the ability to add new custom categories to your needs. A few things worth noting Raw numbers always accompany graphs and can be easy exported to Excel for further anslysis. You can include up to 4 different trends on a single graph. You can specify custom timetables (e.g. Nov 2009 - Oct 2010) Every report can be exported, scheduled for auto-delivery and saved for later recall. Learn more about our reporting technology
