(Maybe these “ier” post titles aren’t going to work out over the long term, after all. Should it be real estatier? Real estateier? Sadly the AP Stylebook has nothing to say on the issue, as it generally deals with actual words, proper grammar, etc., and as a result has understandably little guidance for self-indulgent jerks prone to making up words for their own amusement. Or should I say “amusementiness?”)
Moving on. The main Backyard Post real estate page is now more of a “home” page for our sweet sales database, which covers 14 years of residential transactions in Palm Beach County and is updated five days a week. Previously, we simply had a map and list of all our current neighborhoods, which you can still see here, and you could only see our real estate data at the individual neighborhood level.
The new page includes a basic chart of median sales prices by housing type, a rundown of all sales from the past 30 days and a search box to replace the old neighborhood list. Like the rest of the site, we’re currently limiting the data to transactions in the city of West Palm Beach. Nothing mind-blowing yet, but this sets the stage for all sorts of data access and visualization fun we plan to introduce this summer as we continue working toward a proper, public launch.
Stay tuned, early adopters/incredibly random Google-searchers.

Very nice! I can’t wait to see that in my neighborhood. And on a completely unrelated note, Delray Beach would be a good city to tackle next…

I think every neighborhood in Palm Beach County and on the Treasure Coast would be good to tackle next. We’re working on it!
