Heat Maps

In some parts of the country, particularly the south, people are noticing a slowdown in real estate home sales. That’s not the case up north. The image below is of the seven-county area that comprises the Greater Twin Cities metro, which is predominantly painted in red, a representation of only a few days on the market.

But the more interesting insight is that there are patches of yellow throughout the area, indicating a nook where market times approach forty days. Averaging loses nuance. Nuance is precisely where the interesting observations are to be had.

For that reason, heat maps are wonderful visuals.
