Why Re-benchmark?
All data should undergo a third party data validity check
How many home sales if MLSs did not exist?
Homebuilder
Real Estate Companies financial statements are same as before For-Sale-By-Owner home sales fell drastically during the housing market downturn as more sought REALTOR assistance GDP component from home sales will be lowered from 2007 to 2010 (Department of Commerce needs to do this) The home price elasticity from home sales is lowered (that is, it took an even bigger decline in home sales to bring about the observed home price changes)
Future Plans
MLS trend as the basis for Home Sales Trend will continue because it is most timely available data Re-Benchmark more frequently rather than waiting for data drift to accumulate over time
Annual re-benchmarking and supplement using Courthouse Data
2 years of Census time-series data are needed to get one full year of benchmark.
2007, 2008, 2009 benchmarked figures are complete 2010 will be revised again next year
