What's good about living there?

What sizes & prices do they offer?

Can I see what's for sale now?

1. Housing prices; DOM, Inventory, Asking Price to Sold %
2. Amenities of the hood.
3. Local Knowledge Pros and Cons of the hood.

#1 Market Report

Market reports:  
Average and median prices
Year over year prices increase (or decrease)
Absorption rates

Also:  Amenities, activities, and other factors affecting liveability

Absorption rate, low to high price bracketing, HOA info.

6 month property update

Market data (recent sales, etc.)

What's happening in the surrounding area (construction, infrastructure improvement, new shopping, restaurants, etc.)

Lifestyle

I will have to watch for your blog on this topic.

Depends what kind of a post you are writing... is it to report sales? Is it to get people's interest in the neighborhood?

Great info here! I like seeing sales in the neighborhood 

Price range in the neighborhood, school district, amenities and commute (major freeways or employers).

Bob,

Lyn Sims covered it.

What to love about living here?

What to know about living here?

Why to live here?

:) 

I would say real estate trends - local amenities - and available homes.

great answers by Lyn Sims 

I have not done a lot of neighborhood posts but what I did for last month was amenities, price ranges, and active, sold & pending year to date with a link to active homes.-Kasey

What Lyn Sims said ... and be sure to add photos / graphics!!

1)  Description of the neighborhood

      Where is it

       What's nice about it

      Why would somebody want to move there

2)  Market report

       Sold prices, home sq ft, lot sq ft ranges, DOM

3)  What's nice about it

      Transportation

      Hospitals, empoyment, easy to get around, shopping, activities etc

Great question Bob Crane , I enjoyed reading the answers and got some great ideas for my next one.

Simple speak

Inviting

Informative

Sales volume, sales price, days on market.

Inventory levels versus LYD, SP:LP Ratio, Mortgage rates

Roy Kelley nailed this one!

You mean Bob Crane - location, location, location? (just kidding...)

People want to know price range, what features are available in the neighborhood,  and what is so special about the homes.

Sense of community, level of property upkeep, stype/makeup of homes

1 The 'why' of the area 2 descriptions of homes 3 area amenties.  I also include links for them to look at current homes on the market - which is always current and evergreen.

Name, description and market report

Amenities

average sale price

type of houses.

What's it like to live there - amenities in and nearby

Types of housing and photos

Where the community is located

Unless it's a market update, I like them to be evergreen so I don't usually  include the current statistics

Overview, inventory and pricing trends!

Where is it?

What happened?

How does it impact the reader?

I guess "When" and "Who" are left out...once again. 

Why residents love living there

Where it is located

Offer a link to the current active listings.

History, employment, what makes it special.

Days on Market

Average price

Benefits of sub area.

Pictures, description, local infomation

Homes for sale, Location amenities, and schools.

Price

Location

Amt of land

One of many possible themes:

Distance to major roads or highways.

Distance to shopping

Distance to downtown

School district.

Market information.

Activities for the buyer I'm trying to locate.  

What's the look, feel, amenities of the community?

What schools is the community zoned for?

How's the market? 

And, of course, "Show me the houses!"
