Rockville, MD – (January 11, 2011) – According to data released recently by RealEstate Business Intelligence (RBI), an MRIS company, the Baltimore housing market continued downward at the close of 2010. To continue tracking the local housing market and provide a relevant look ahead for real estate professionals and consumers, RBI announced its inaugural RBI Pending Home Sales Index™ [Baltimore Metro Area], a two-year moving window on the housing market using pending sales and average sales price. The results include pending sales through and including December 2010. The market area includes: Baltimore City, Baltimore County, Anne Arundel County, Carroll County, Harford County and Howard County.

We're proud to announce the launch of our second subscription option - rbiEXPERT. Building on the foundation of rbiPRO and retaining all of its features as well, rbiEXPERT provides detailed statistical analysis for multiple geographies found nowhere else in this price range. Available at $29.99 a month, rbiEXPERT sets itself apart from rbiPRO by focusing on the context of a given micromarket and how it compares to its "parent" market(s) or "sibling" markets.

In our initial release, rbiEXPERT provides the ability to compare up to five geographies in a single view. Additionally, users can drill down on how a given stat (e.g. SP to LP ratio) is trending for a particular home type/criteria (e.g. Detached homes or 4 BR homes) across several areas. In addition to the line or bar view, customers can also export the data to Excel sheets with just one click. Embedding an rbiEXPERT graph on your website with ZIP Codes you farm instantly positions you as the local market expert.
