Real estate media software platform Aryeo joins ShowingTime+ to help deliver richer home shopping experiences
Zillow Group acquired Aryeo, a leading real estate media software and content management platform for photographers and media companies founded on the mission to streamline real estate content for those who generate it and consume it. Aryeo's mission makes it a natural fit with ShowingTime+, Zillow Group's real estate software brand dedicated to improving the real estate industry for agents, brokers and MLSs, and the customers they serve. Bringing Aryeo into the ShowingTime+ suite enables the brand to serve photographers and media companies directly and invest in the tools they need to create elevated, immersive home shopping experiences for real estate agents and consumers. Aryeo powers listing media for the industry Aryeo's platform powers thousands of photography and media businesses nationwide, who in turn bring hundreds of thousands of real estate listings to life each year for agents and consumers. Together with Aryeo, ShowingTime+ can do more for the real estate content creators who generate high-quality listing media for the industry. ShowingTime+ will also use Aryeo to efficiently and seamlessly deliver high-quality, immersive media to agents, including through interactive floor plans and media-forward listing products for agents. ShowingTime+ launched two products for listing preparation and marketing – Listing Media Services and Listing Showcase – this year as part of its efforts to grow rich media adoption by including interactive content with every package an agent orders. "I'm thrilled to welcome Aryeo to the ShowingTime+ team to help us further our mission to offer elevated real estate experiences," said Cynthia Taylor, vice president of product and business strategy for ShowingTime+. "We know elevated real estate experiences happen for consumers when the professionals doing the work are empowered with great products that help them deliver these experiences. ShowingTime+ is already doing this for agents, and we're looking forward to empowering photographers and media companies as well." Consumers expect dynamic real estate experiences Interactive real estate media has become increasingly important to home shoppers and sellers. Virtual tours, interactive floor plans, immersive photos and more all give consumers a deep sense of a home, which helps cut down on time spent touring homes that aren't a good fit and equips shoppers with more information to help them make decisions – a win for shoppers, sellers, and their agents. In fact, sellers and shoppers don't just want immersive listing content, they expect it — homes on Zillow with an interactive floor plan were saved 79% more than homes without and received 72% more shares on average. And, most home sellers say they are more likely to hire an agent who includes virtual tours and/or interactive floor plans in their services. More rich media for all Aryeo was founded in 2019 by former real estate photographers Branick Weix, Matthew Michalski and Brendan Quinlan. They saw firsthand the growing importance of rich listing media for home shoppers and sellers, and the need for software to help independent media companies grow their business and deliver this rich media to their customers. "When we created Aryeo, our vision was to build the best platform possible to solve photographer and media company pain points and provide easy-to-use tools to help our customers grow," said Branick Weix, co-founder and CEO of Aryeo. "We're teaming up with ShowingTime+ because we both believe in building technology that makes the industry better, and we will keep innovating and improving our platform for our customers." Aryeo will continue to operate as an independent platform within ShowingTime+, and Aryeo's privacy policy remains in place. With deepening investment in photographer tools, Aryeo customers can expect feature improvements and partnership opportunities with ShowingTime+ to help them stand out from the competition and win more business.

New, enhanced Appointment Center by ShowingTime+ combines personal showing service with powerful data and reporting tools
This streamlined software package helps agents save time, which they can reinvest in their business to help them win in any market SEATTLE, June 8, 2023 -- An unpredictable housing market means real estate agents need tools they can count on to navigate changes and grow their business. Now available nationwide, the new Appointment Center by ShowingTime+℠ is a software package that offers more tools at a lower price to create everyday value and help agents and brokers succeed. According to ShowingTime+ research, agents value efficiency and time savings above all else when determining which tools to use in their business. The Appointment Center by ShowingTime+ enables agents to streamline their business so they can focus on delivering client experiences that lead to more business. For just $15 per month, agents gain access to key products and reports that help them efficiently determine pricing strategy and simplify showing and offer management for their listings. The Appointment Center by ShowingTime+ includes around-the-clock support from experienced Appointment Center specialists, Offer Manager for simple communication between parties, the Target Market Analysis Report to help set the right list price, and the Pricing Benchmark Report to adjust list price when needed. Appointment Center The Appointment Center acts as a busy agent's virtual assistant, answering calls requesting showings in 20 seconds on average. This gives agents direct and immediate scheduling support that frees them from the tedious back-and-forth of setting showing appointments. Appointment Center specialists are ShowingTime+ employees trained to support agents 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so that a listing agent's business appears to be open at all times and buyers' agents can make showing requests whenever it works best for them and their clients. Offer Manager ShowingTime+'s Offer Manager, available in select markets, is a productivity and organizational tool that simplifies communication between listing agents, sellers and buyers' agents during the offer process. Fully integrated within ShowingTime's scheduling platform, Offer Manager enables listing agents to send a professionally formatted side-by-side comparison of all offers received on a home to a seller, from a phone or laptop, all in about 30 seconds. Target Market Analysis Buyers and sellers alike count on their real estate agent for local market expertise, with 74% of sellers and 76% of buyers saying that an agent who has local market and neighborhood knowledge is very or extremely important. Leveraging multiple-listing-service-wide pricing comparison charts, the Target Market Analysis report gives agents a full view of the price ranges that are generating the most showings in their market, so agents can pinpoint the perfect list price to bring in offers. This helps their clients avoid being among the roughly 1 in every 5 sellers this year who has had a price cut. Pricing Benchmark Report If the time comes for a price reduction conversation, agents can leverage the Pricing Benchmark Report to help explain why their client's listing is sitting on the market longer than the neighbor's house down the street. The Pricing Benchmark Report highlights how a listing compares to the competition and enables agents to see their listing's relative pricing, showing activity, days on market and more. This report is available in select markets. Together, the Target Market Analysis and the Pricing Benchmark Report combine listing data with robust showing information exclusively available through ShowingTime+ to help agents give their sellers a competitive edge. "Tougher times mean that every dollar an agent spends toward their business counts," said Mike Lane, vice president of sales and industry affairs for ShowingTime+. "We want to give agents tools that save them time and money, while helping them build the trust with their clients that is key to getting more referrals and more business." Agents and brokers who take advantage of Appointment Center will also soon enjoy ShowingTime's next-generation app and user experience. Launching later this summer, this new experience will feature streamlined appointment booking, an offline mode so agents never miss instructions because of poor connectivity, new calendar views and more — all with a responsive design that is simple, adaptable and intuitive to empower agents to streamline their workflows and manage their appointments more efficiently. These tools build on the more than 20 years of experience, trust and leading customer service that agents know and expect from the ShowingTime+ product suite. The new and improved Appointment Center by ShowingTime+ is available today to all new and existing customers. Customers can access the new Appointment Center features in their ShowingTime app. About ShowingTime+ ShowingTime+℠ is modernizing real estate for the benefit of all agents, brokers and multiple listing services (MLSs).

New service from ShowingTime+ enables agents to deliver beautiful, dynamic listings with less hassle
Listing Media Services brings together photography services and high-quality, immersive listing media, giving agents everything they need to create interactive, save-worthy listings SEATTLE, Jan. 18, 2023 -- Zillow Group brand ShowingTime+ has launched Listing Media Services in select markets. It is the first of two next-generation listing marketing products from the software suite that will transform the way real estate agents prepare and market their for-sale listings. Listing Media Services is currently available in Milwaukee, Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles, with Tampa and Orlando coming online in a few days, and other markets having access to the service soon. Listing Media Services is a technology-enabled real estate photography service that offers agents comprehensive media packages to make their listings stand out in any market. With just a few clicks, agents can schedule a professional photographer with on-demand booking to capture all the media they need to build a compelling listing. This includes high-resolution listing photos, an interactive floor plan with embedded virtual tour and listing photos, downloadable floor plans, aerial photos and more — delivered on time, neatly packaged and easily shared. The interactive floor plan is automatically syndicated to Zillow®, Redfin® and select multiple listing services. The listing then receives specialized exposure and unique filters in search results on Zillow and Trulia® and is featured in dedicated emails to shoppers. Listing Media Services' easy scheduling, consistent availability and reliable service take the guesswork out of ordering listing media for agents. Agents simply select their media package, schedule a photographer and enter a few details about the property. From there, ShowingTime+'s experienced professionals deliver beautiful, engaging media for every listing, when the agent needs it. "We want to help agents effortlessly deliver standout listings that wow their sellers and help win over potential buyers," said Cynthia Taylor, vice president of product for ShowingTime+. "Listing Media Services cuts down on the time agents spend preparing a listing so they can focus on the high-touch, high-value work they do as a trusted adviser for their clients." Spotlighting a seller's home is more important than ever as listings linger on the market and home prices continue to decline. Higher mortgage rates and the subsequent pullback in home-buyer demand mean sellers and their agents are facing more days on market for their properties and less negotiating power than during the frenzied pandemic market. A key to unlocking listing engagement with potential buyers is to give them the immersive, digital home shopping experience they want. Homes on Zillow with a 3D Home tour and/or interactive floor plan were saved by users 78% more often than homes without a virtual tour. For home sellers, interactive listing media is no longer optional. In fact, most sellers (70%) say they are more likely to hire an agent who includes virtual tours and/or interactive floor plans in their services. First-time home sellers now see their agent's use of rich listing media as essential to bringing in a higher sale price. Nearly 2 in 5 (39%) recent first-time sellers think they could have gotten a higher sale price with better listing photos, and 1 in 4 (25%) say a virtual home tour would have helped boost their bottom line. Listing Media Services makes it easy for agents to deliver the interactive listing media that home sellers want and home shoppers expect. Listing Media Services forms the foundation for ShowingTime+'s premium listing marketing product, Listing Showcase, launching in select markets later this year. Building on Listing Media Services' beautiful, easy-to-book media packages, Listing Showcase will enable agents to create a premium, customizable listing that stands out on Zillow and puts their personal brand front and center. Listing Media Services joins the ShowingTime+ suite of technology and tools that help agents highlight their brand, streamline processes and increase productivity. Interested agents can sign up to hear from ShowingTime+ about when Listing Media Services and Listing Showcase will be available in their market.

ShowingTime+ brings together leading industry software tools in a single, streamlined brand
The ShowingTime+ suite of services -- which includes ShowingTime, dotloop, Bridge Interactive, and 3D Home tours and interactive floor plans -- is available to all agents, brokers and MLSs SEATTLE, Sept. 26, 2022 -- Zillow Group presents ShowingTime+, a new, unified brand to integrate and simplify the company's best-in-class technology offerings for agents, brokers and multiple listing services (MLSs). The expanded software suite includes all existing products and services from ShowingTime, dotloop, Bridge Interactive, and 3D Home tours and interactive floor plans. The ShowingTime+ suite of services — which includes ShowingTime, dotloop, Bridge Interactive, and 3D Home tours and interactive floor plans — is available to all agents, brokers and MLSs. "'Plus,' very simply, means 'more'," said Jun Choo, senior vice president of ShowingTime+. "The extended ShowingTime+ brand reflects the breadth of our offerings and the opportunity we have to continue building tools that help agents succeed." Today, the average agent uses more than 12 unique software products1 to shepherd clients from home shopping and listing to closing. This creates duplicative work and fractured systems, preventing agents from dedicating more time to their clients. "Ultimately, our goal is to reduce transaction friction for everyone by offering an integrated, open platform for real estate professionals to run their business. Nearly 90% of home shoppers and sellers work with an agent, and at ShowingTime+, we want to help agents bring them home," said Choo. ShowingTime, dotloop and Bridge Interactive will continue to offer the same high level of support and service they have provided independently for decades. ShowingTime+ will keep innovating and building solutions that help agents and brokers deliver top-notch client experiences and grow their brands and businesses.

April Slowdown in Showing Activity 'Unusual,' Reflecting a Slight Softening of Competition Among Buyers According to ShowingTime Data
Overall, the U.S. experienced a 10.7% year-over-year decline in buyer demand in April, though 103 markets still recorded double-digit showings per listing, led by Burlington, Vt., and Bloomington-Normal, Ill., for the second month in a row. CHICAGO, May 31, 2022 -- Buyer competition for listings was slightly subdued in April as 103 markets across the country recorded double-digit showings per listing, compared to 146 in April 2021 and 121 in March of 2022, according to the latest data from ShowingTime, one of the residential real estate industry’s leading technology providers of showing management and market stats. Year-over-year declines occurred throughout most of the country, according to ShowingTime’s Showing Index®. A combination of tapering demand and comparisons to the hectic pace set last year partly explain April’s decrease, though the numbers still indicate robust buyer activity. The top 25 markets averaged more than 14 showings per listing, with Burlington, Vt., and Bloomington-Normal, Ill., leading all markets with 20.30 and 16.42 showings per listing, respectively. Other busy markets included Richmond, Va.; Denver; Akron, Ohio; Rochester, N.Y.; and Bridgeport, Conn. "April buyer activity was rather unusual, since it typically matches March levels," said ShowingTime Vice President and General Manager Michael Lane. "But this year, April traffic was slower across all markets, pointing to competition softening. It contrasts with last year's dynamic, when demand reached a feverish peak in April." Regionally, the Midwest’s 7.3% year-over-year decline in buyer demand was the lowest, followed closely by the Northeast’s drop of 8.6%. The South saw an 11.6% decline in showing activity year-over-year, with the West’s 35.3% decline rounding out the regions. The ShowingTime Showing Index is compiled using data from more than six million property showings scheduled across the country each month on listings using ShowingTime products and services. It tracks the average number of appointments received on active listings during the month. About ShowingTime ShowingTime is an industry leader in home touring technology and a proud affiliate of Zillow Group, Inc. ShowingTime’s technology and services simplify the tour scheduling process for buyers, sellers and agents across the industry. ShowingTime products are used in hundreds of MLSs representing more than one million real estate professionals across the U.S. and Canada.

U.S. Home Buyer Activity Leaps in January as 83 Markets Hit Double-Digit Showings Per Listing
Top 25 markets were up an average of 14% year over year, with Seattle and Denver leading in showings per listing, followed by Salt Lake City; Boulder, Colo.; Manchester, N.H.; Dallas; and Orlando, according to ShowingTime data CHICAGO, Feb. 24, 2022 -- The latest data from ShowingTime, a residential real estate industry leading technology provider of showing management and market stats, shows a surge in home buyer demand in January, with the average number of showings per listing at double digits in 83 markets nationwide. This enormous activity occurred in a month when buyer activity typically slows and followed a historic 2021, where buyer demand across the country was extraordinarily strong. In January, the entire country experienced a 7.7% year-over-year uptick nationally in home tours, according to the latest data from the ShowingTime Showing Index®. The top 25 markets were up an average of 14% compared with the heavy traffic numbers recorded last January. As was the case in much of last year, Seattle*and Denver recorded the highest claimed the first and second spots for showings per listing in January, with 26 and 25, respectively. Of note, Seattle showed a 2 percent drop in showing year-over-year, due to phenomenal activity in January 2021. Numbers of showings outperformed all other markets nationwide, regardless. Next, Salt Lake City; Boulder, Colo.; and Manchester, N.H. trailed Seattle and Denver, all averaged 17 showings per listing, while Orlando, Fla. and Dallas each had 16 showings per listing to begin the year. "Given last year's historic flurry of activity, it's not surprising that buyers were motivated to meet their home ownership goals so shortly after the holidays," said ShowingTime Vice President and General Manager Michael Lane. "With buyer demand showing no sign of letting up, we remain committed to helping busy real estate professionals handle the ensuing surge in business, just as we did throughout last year." Regionally, the South led the country with a 12.3% year-over-year jump in showing traffic in January, with Dallas and the Florida cities of Orlando, Sarasota and Miami having enormous home touring action. The Midwest's 8.2% climb and Northeast's 7% bump in activity closely followed, while the West - despite very active traffic in Seattle and Denver - saw a 4.5% dip in showings compared to its historic January 2021 numbers. The ShowingTime Showing Index is compiled using data from more than six million property showings scheduled across the country each month on listings using ShowingTime products and services. It tracks the average number of appointments received on active listings during the month. *Note: Seattle shows a -2% in the Y-O-Y chart below, due to a phenomenal January 2021.

ShowingTime's New Offer Manager Software Streamlines the Offer Process Freeing up Agents Time to Focus on their Clients
The Intuitive Platform and App Managed Over 120,000 Offers in 2021 CHICAGO, Dec. 14, 2021 -- ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider, announced today its Offer Manager tool facilitated over 120,000 offers in 2021. Fueled by automation and supported by an easy-to-use app, Offer Manager provides agents with a single platform for offer management, freeing up their time to focus on clients. Without Offer Manager software, agents usually need to work across email, text and calls to make and receive offers on behalf of their clients, juggling multiple documents, offers - all in different formats and without a central way to organize and evaluate the offers quickly. "Even though technology has transformed many other areas of real estate, the process of sending and receiving offers hasn't changed in decades," explained Michael Lane, Vice President & General Manager of ShowingTime. "Manually handling offers can be stressful and inefficient, especially if a seller's agent has several listings. Our Offer Manager platform has been used to manage more than 120,000 offers in the past year, giving users one central place to go while providing sellers' agents and the buyers' agents they work with a streamlined experience," he added. Seller's agents simply include a "Submit an Offer" button in the showing confirmation or a feedback request email and the buyer's agents can submit an offer directly from their device. The seller's agent receives the offer within the ShowingTime platform, which facilitates quick and easy communication between both parties. When an offer is submitted, the seller's agent receives a notification via app, email or text so they can review it immediately. The buyer's agent who submitted the offer gets a read receipt so they know it has been received. Sellers' agents can view offers 24/7 on mobile or desktop; they are automatically organized by listing making it easy to share and evaluate offers with their clients in one simple view. With such a positive response, Lane says "ShowingTime plans to continue adding innovative solutions and app features to better serve the growing real estate market." About ShowingTime ShowingTime is the industry leader in home touring technology and a proud affiliate of Zillow Group, Inc.

ShowingTime Introduces Three Exclusive Features for Agents to Further Streamline Showings at No Additional Cost
ShowingTime Secure Access, Showing Beacon and ShowingTime LIVE Video are available now CHICAGO, Nov. 12, 2021 -- ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider, announced today that three exclusive features, ShowingTime Secure Access, Showing Beacon and ShowingTime LIVE Video, previously only available in select markets, are now included for all users on the company's showing management platforms across the U.S. and Canada. "We're pleased to provide these three features to all of our clients," said ShowingTime Vice President & General Manager Michael Lane. "Agents who book showings and other appointments will gain increased peace of mind and enjoy greater scheduling flexibility, including conducting live, one-on-one virtual tours for buyers who aren't available for an in-person showing, such as out-of-town buyers, right from our app. Providing these features is aligned with our goal to streamline the showing process to make it more convenient for agents and their clients." ShowingTime Secure Access provides enhanced security for listings, as lockbox access is granted based on ShowingTime's real-time appointment data. The listing agent has the flexibility to set the access window for their listings – for example, 15 minutes before a showing and 15 minutes after. A buyer's agent with a confirmed showing can then view access information during that window, whether it's a combo box or Bluetooth-enabled lockbox. "The technology is focused on bringing the right agent to the right listing at the right time," Lane said. Showing Beacon, accessible from the ShowingTime mobile app, enables agents to set a timer for a showing or client meeting. If the timer reaches zero before being cancelled, an emergency contact selected by the agent will receive a text notification, which includes details about the agent's current location so the contact can check on the agent to make sure the agent is okay. ShowingTime LIVE Video is ideal when an in-person showing is not possible, giving agents the option to host live, one-on-one video showings from the ShowingTime mobile app without requiring any additional account or app. It enables buyers to ask questions and specify which parts of a listing they'd like to see in greater detail, just as if they were there in person. ShowingTime recently announced an initiative to redesign its showing management platform to give users an enhanced experience. The company is one of the presenters at Town Square Theater during the 2021 National Association of REALTORS® Conference & Expo and will also be sharing additional details about it on the expo floor at booth 1021. About ShowingTime ShowingTime is the industry leader in home touring technology and a proud affiliate of Zillow Group, Inc.

June's Rapid Slowdown in Demand Brings Home Showing Traffic to More Normal Levels per Data from ShowingTime
Uptick in inventory expected, along with ease of pressure on prices, yet first five days of listings still hyperactive with double digit showings, offers submitted quickly CHICAGO - (July 20, 2021) -- ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider, found that showing activity slowed during June compared to prior months, but remained hyperactive during the first few days listings go on the market in cities across the country. According to the ShowingTime Showing Index®, 64 markets still averaged double-digit showings per listing during the month, led again by Seattle and Denver. That was down almost half from May, when 113 markets averaged double-digit showings per listing, and down from a very busy April when 146 markets were in double digits. "Buyer demand remains healthy," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "Showing traffic is still above last year's levels – other than in the Northeast, where it is down 3 percent from last year – though we saw a quick month-to-month drop in the number of showings per listing in June, showing an uncharacteristically rapid slowdown in real estate demand coming into the summer. This is likely to cause an increase in inventory levels in the coming months and ease the upward pressure on real estate prices that has pushed them to historic highs over the last 12 months." Though the volume of showings declined from prior months, the first five days listings are active remain critical for buyers, when showing calendars tend to fill up quickly. Listings in Riverside and Bakersfield, Calif., Buffalo and Rochester, N.Y., Los Angeles, Raleigh, N.C., and Grand Rapids, Mich., each averaged more than 30 showings just in the first five days. Buyer demand remained strong enough in June to drive year-over-year jumps in showing traffic in the South (20.5 percent), the West (14.4 percent) and the Midwest (14.1 percent), leading to a 7.8 percent jump year over year in activity throughout the U.S. overall. The Northeast Region, however, saw a drop of 3.2 percent, the first drop in showing activity in any region since April 2020 when real estate continued to grapple with the effects of the pandemic. The ShowingTime Showing Index is compiled using data from more than six million property showings scheduled across the country each month on listings using ShowingTime products and services. The Showing Index tracks the average number of appointments received on active listings during the month. About ShowingTime ShowingTime is the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider, with more than 1.5 million active listings subscribed to its services.

Call Centers Losing Ground to Showing Automation
Agents prefer automation to phone tag AUSTIN, Texas, April 21, 2021 -- TourZazz, the leading provider of mobile apps for managing home buyer showings, today announced that agents surveyed in Austin prefer technology automation to call centers. Agents using the smart automation features share that setting, modifying, and booking showings is faster and easier without the hassle of back-and-forth phone calls. "In today's fast paced market, buyer agents are constantly coordinating tour adjustments and the process of calling a call center and waiting for them to get back to you is more trouble than it's worth," says Brian Copland with Realty Austin®. "It's a lot easier to confirm or make other changes in the mobile app as necessary when I am out working with a client. Without the interruption of working with a call center, I save time and focus on my customers." A key feature of mobile apps is their ability to connect with features on the agent's cell phone that make showing automation effective. This includes the integration of the agent's calendar, the communication to other agents or customers via text and in-app messaging, and notifications that allow for timely confirmations. TourZazz is releasing the seller functionality of their application in June. Like the current functionality, the seller features will include integration with the native mobile calendar, connection to the MLS for listing and showing data, and push notifications for confirmations to the buyer's agent. Consumer notifications may be turned on by the agent. "We are excited to see the traction that we are gaining in the market since the release of our proprietary TourZazz app," says Michael Spickes, Co-Founder of TourZazz. "The disruption in the marketplace caused by a broker purchasing ShowingTime has been a blessing for us." TourZazz is a patent-pending property tour management solution for real estate agents, brokers, home buyers and home sellers. Downloadable as an app via Google Play or Apple App stores, TourZazz integrates with RESO data, saving agents (and the trees!) the headache of printing MLS handouts to bring with them on home showings. Agents also avoid a cluttered inbox and eliminate the chance of missing a message as all client communications, including receiving valuable feedback about a home tour, happens within the app, TourZazz offers a white-label solution for brokers or MLSs to enhance brand awareness and increase competitive advantage, allowing team leaders to provide better training opportunities for their agents through property tour conversion rate tracking. About TourZazz® TourZazz, the innovative solution that coordinates, automates, and digitizes the scheduling process for property showings, is available nationwide for real estate agents and their homebuyer clients. Artificial intelligence-powered software streamlines the home buying experience for all by aligning communication within the app's environment to enhance the client's engagement with the agent. Available in the Apple App and Google Play stores. Learn more at tourzazz.ai.

Buyer Activity Continued Its Late-season Surge Across the U.S., Led by Denver, Colorado Springs and Three Utah Cities
Data from ShowingTime revealed double-digit showings per listing in multiple cities in the West including Ogden, Provo and Salt Lake City, Utah, while similar increases were recorded in Washington, D.C., Arlington & Alexandria, Va., and Worcester, Mass. CHICAGO - (January 27, 2021) -- ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider, found that December's usual seasonal slowdown was reversed in 2020, with showing traffic across the country surging 63.5 percent year-over-year as buyers had more on their minds than just shopping for gifts. "Of the 20 cities recording the heaviest showing traffic, all but three also had month-over-month increases. This is not what anyone expected, but 2020 was anything but normal," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "In December, Ogden and Provo were up 122 percent and 123 percent, respectively, compared to 2019. Denver had more than twice the average number of showings per listing, as did Colorado Springs. "While the year was a challenge for everyone, we've seen consumers in many markets make up for lost time shopping for homes. The industry adapted quickly, with the data suggesting the positive momentum will continue, so we're excited to help clients respond to the sustained demand." For the second consecutive month the West Region saw the most significant year-over-year increase in showing activity, with a jump of 82.1 percent. The South followed with a 69.7 percent increase, with the Midwest's 61.1 percent uptick and Northeast's 60.4 percent climb rounding out the gains. "2020 proved to be a tumultuous year, yet so far across the U.S. we continue to see increased levels of demand concentrated on a dwindling set of available listings," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "Year-over-year increases are at historically high levels, especially on the West Coast, and although December's stats are more likely to be distorted by weather and other factors, the trajectory we've seen in 2020 points to continued upward pressure on prices in the next few months."

ShowingTime's Data Finds Home Showings Continue at a Torrid Pace, Jumping Nationwide for Fourth Consecutive Month
Residential Showings Increased 73.7 Percent Year-Over-Year in the Northeast Region, the Biggest Gain in the U.S. Chicago, IL (September 30, 2020) -- ShowingTime, the residential real estate industry's leading showing management and market stats technology provider found summer housing market ended much as it began, as buyers again turned out in droves in August, according to data from the ShowingTime Showing Index®. The 61.9 percent year-over-year increase in nationwide showing activity is the largest recorded during the current four-month surge in demand. Coupled with a lack of inventory and growing buyer demand, there was a marked increase in the average number of showings per listing. The sustained surge has reached historic heights, aided by continued adoption of virtual showings. The Northeast Region's 73.7 percent increase was the largest of the four regions tracked by the ShowingTime Showing Index®, while August showing traffic increased 61.9 percent year over year nationwide, the largest jump during the current four-month surge in activity. "The trends we've been observing the past few months have continued, with buyers competing for fewer listings," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "Normally, real estate activity begins to slow down in the late summer, but this year it peaked in July, August and into September. Only in late September did we begin seeing signs of a seasonal decline." The Northeast Region saw the largest gain for the third consecutive month, with a 73.7 percent increase in traffic. The West's 55.1 percent year-over-year increase came next, followed by the Midwest's 54.9 percent increase and the South's 51.9 percent climb. "If there was any question about the vitality of the market, August's numbers provide a definitive answer," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "It's gratifying to know agents, teams and offices using our services have been able to manage this historic demand."

Nationwide Surge in June Home Buyer Activity Continues Historic Turnaround, with Agents Seeing a 50 Percent Increase in Showings per Listing
Buyer Demand Jumps in all Regions for the Second Consecutive Month July 27, 2020 - Home buyers were out in droves nationwide in June resulting in the second consecutive month of surging home showing activity, with agents seeing 50 percent more showings per listing according to data from the ShowingTime Showing Index. June's 50.1 percent year-over-year jump in nationwide buyer traffic resembled that typically seen in the spring, as agents and buyers made up for pandemic-induced lost time by continuing to leverage historically low mortgage rates and newly available virtual showing technology. Since May, ShowingTime has facilitated more than 52,000 home showings hosted virtually, a number expected to grow throughout the summer. "In June, we saw the full effect of the rebound in the intensity of buyer traffic in the US," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. “The Showing Index tracks the average number of showings per listing, and while the absolute number of showings increased between 13 percent and 15 percent, a substantial increase, the number of showable listings decreased by 23 percent. Thus, the average listing is receiving 50 percent more appointments, concentrated in the first two weeks of the listing's market time. This unprecedented surge is amplified by the increasing shift of soft interactions between market participants to technology tools, leading to greater efficiency, shorter turnaround times and a larger number of appointments scheduled." The Northeast saw the largest jump in year over year showing activity, with a 66.9 percent increase in June. The West Region's 48 percent boost came next, followed by an increase in the Midwest of 40.2 percent and in the South of 39.6 percent. In June, ShowingTime LIVE Video, which enables agents and their buyers to use the ShowingTime mobile app to take part in live, interactive video showings, continued to expand into markets across North America. Since it was first made available in select markets in May, ShowingTime LIVE Video has become a popular option for agents to conduct virtual showings for buyers, who participate from the comfort of their own homes. "We're pleased to continue helping agents meet pent-up client demand with innovations designed to keep showings going, safely and efficiently," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "The feedback we've received so far for ShowingTime LIVE Video has been very positive. We're looking forward to expanding its availability in markets throughout North America in the weeks and months to come." The ShowingTime Showing Index, the first of its kind in the residential real estate industry, is compiled using data from property showings scheduled across the country on listings using ShowingTime products and services, providing a benchmark to track buyer demand.

Live Open Houses Are Now Available on Homesnap for iOS and Android
Agents can now promote live virtual open houses on the Homesnap platform on iOS and Android. Why is this important? Even as states rescind stay-at-home guidelines and the real estate market eases back to normalcy, plenty of would-be homebuyers are still reluctant to visit a property in person. Open houses have yet to see the same level of attendance they have in years past, and, by most industry expert predictions, won't for some time. Agents who neglect to cater to these prospective buyers risk missing out on potential clients and revenue. How Homesnap Live Open Houses work Using the Homesnap platform, you can create video tours of a property and schedule and host open houses virtually, much in the same way you would an in-person one. The only difference? You'll enter a URL in the "Open House Live Stream URL" field within the Open House menu of your listing. Once complete, scheduled virtual open houses will appear as a purple-colored pin within Homesnap's map view, and property card banners, as shown on the right side of the below photo, will display the date and time of the virtual open house (again, in purple). When a virtual open house goes live, the purple pin will animate and the property card banner will display a "Live Now" message, inviting prospective homebuyers currently searching the Homesnap platform to join your presentation. Pretty easy, right? A final note Virtual open houses and in-person open houses should not be viewed as mutually exclusive. Many prospective homebuyers are ready to visit a property in-person. Others are not. So, to attract the widest possible prospect pool, you should strive to host both versions. Fortunately, with Homesnap, that's easier than ever.

SentriLock to Provide Showing Service for REALTORS
SentriKey Showing Service will be the most advanced integrated solution in showing service space. West Chester, Ohio. (June 2, 2020) -- SentriLock, LLC, a leading technology company and provider of property access management solutions to real estate and other industries, will introduce a comprehensive showing service to REALTORS® in late Summer 2020. The optional, premium offering, called SentriKey Showing Service, will provide a smart, effective alternative to services currently available. Real estate professionals will be able to schedule and manage showings, manage their client roster, share listings and market trends with clients, view property details and notifications, open the lockbox, and much more. All functions can be performed using the same easy-to-use mobile app from SentriLock that agents currently use to open lockboxes. "This is a natural extension of what our organization was founded to do – provide effective technology solutions and superb service to members of the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR)," said Scott Fisher, founder and CEO of SentriLock. "We have seen the choice in providers offering showing scheduling service products consolidate to the point that REALTOR® Associations and MLSs have few alternatives to provide their members with a high-quality, competitively priced showing service. SentriKey Showing Service fills that gap and offers features that make doing business easier and give agents more time in their busy schedules. Just as we did very successfully in the lockbox space 18 years ago, we will create strong competition that ensures NAR members get the best value and innovation from their technology providers, while keeping the proceeds from those business activities supporting REALTORS®." SentriLock's Chief Technology Officer, Chuck Shroder, further emphasized why the company is launching the new showing service. "For some time now, we have been asked by our customers to consider adding a showing service that integrates with our lockbox system. As we focus on enhancing REALTOR® productivity, a single, integrated system makes sense. And this direction has also expanded some capabilities of our existing lockbox service that can be leveraged by other third parties to create a great customer experience. So, even if they are not a subscriber to our SentriKey Showing Service, our interoperability allows them to take advantage of added value through the work we've done here." The SentriKey™ Showing Service will be available in late Summer 2020.

Showing Activity Down 38-45 Percent in Past Two Weeks Due to COVID-19
The Pandemic"s Daily Impact on Buyer Traffic is Being Felt on Both the National and State/Province Levels, Though "Virtual" Showings are Being Scheduled Through ShowingTime"s Systems March 24, 2020 - As the world comes to grips with the impact of COVID-19, so too has the residential real estate industry, with showings off as much as 45 percent in some North American markets vs. the pace from two weeks ago, according to data obtained by ShowingTime. Data aggregated from the five million showings scheduled through ShowingTime's systems each month reveals that buyer interest – which has been higher for the past seven months compared with 2019 – remains intact, but showings have plateaued as more states issue statements asking residents to shelter in place to slow the spread of the virus. "ShowingTime is dedicated to helping our clients and the communities they serve ease the burden brought on by the pandemic by giving them accurate, reliable data that they can use to help with their home buying and selling decisions," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "We are committed to working with our clients to help them do their jobs in a safe, productive manner." To monitor daily showing traffic vs. the same period in 2019, ShowingTime has posted charts on its website that shows buyer activity across North America, along with traffic in individual states, to provide insight on the pandemic's impact. The data points in the charts represent a rolling weekly average in 100 markets that each record tens of thousands of appointments each month. "If we look at the magnitude of the slowdown across different price ranges, homes in the $300K range saw 35-45 percent declines in showing traffic over the last two weeks, while homes above $500K are still being shown, but the temporary declines are in the 50-60 percent range," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic follows a February that marked the seventh consecutive month of nationwide growth in buyer activity with the nation's 14.8 percent rise, according to the latest ShowingTime Showing Index® report. The West Region saw the most notable gain, with a 25.2 percent year-over-year increase in traffic, followed closely by the South's 21.4 percent increase. The Northeast's 13.4 percent increase and the Midwest's 9.9 percent uptick rounded out the regional improvement in buyer activity. "As communities continue to respond to COVID-19, we will continue seeing expected declines in showing activity in most markets, particularly in those that felt the greatest impact in the 2008 housing crash," said Cherkasskiy. "Whether or not these drops will be sustained will become clearer as additional data are made available. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide the latest data on our website." The ShowingTime Showing Index, the first of its kind in the residential real estate industry, is compiled using data from property showings scheduled across the country on listings using ShowingTime products and services, providing a benchmark to track buyer demand.

Home Buyer Interest Up Again in November Nationwide as Showing Traffic Increases for Fourth Consecutive Month
Run of Climbing Showing Activity Longest Since October 2017 - January 2018 December 27, 2019 -- November home showing activity continued an upward trend of year-over-year growth following the fourth consecutive month of increased showing activity, according to the latest ShowingTime Showing Index report. The nation's 12.6 percent growth in home showings compared to activity in 2018 was the most significant jump in buyer traffic during the current four-month streak of year-over-year increases. The West Region saw the greatest growth in activity in November, with a 23.1 percent jump – the region's greatest in the history of the Showing Index. The South had the second greatest boost, with a 15.4 percent increase, followed by the Northeast close behind, which notched a 13 percent uptick. Rounding out the month of gains, the Midwest saw a 7.1 percent in home buyer activity. "Although market slowdown is typical around the holidays, November 2019 was one of the busiest Novembers on record," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "While different markets saw varying levels of activity, several saw a substantial increase, as a greater number of buyers continued their search for a home than we typically see during the season. In addition, the lateness of Thanksgiving this year compared to last year's early holiday pushed the year over year number of showings even higher in November."

Showing Index Reflects Surprising Strength in Buyer Demand with Back-to-Back Months of Increased Nationwide Activity
Back-to-Back Months of Growth Within All Regions a First Since December 2017 - January 2018 October 22, 2019 -- Home showing activity was up again nationwide in September with a 4.6 percent rise in traffic, as the traditionally slow fall season began with a marked boost in buyer interest, according to the latest ShowingTime Showing Index report. The West Region, which until August had experienced 18 consecutive months of flagging home buyer traffic, lead the four regions in year-over-year improvement with an 8.9 percent increase in buyer activity. The South followed with a 6.4 percent increase, the largest such improvement in the region since April 2018, with the Northeast Region's 5.6 percent increase the next largest among the four regions. The Midwest's more modest 0.8 percent year-over-year growth rounded out the nation's promising month. "September's activity continued where August's left off as the beginning of the fall season has gotten off to a slightly busier start compared to last year," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "Although the year-over-year boost for September seems high in the South Region, this can be largely attributed to tropical storm Florence's presence in the area in September of last year. The Northeast and West regions continue to show higher levels of activity compared to last year, even in the face of the expected seasonal slowdown."

June's Northeast Region Buyer Traffic Shows Modest Improvement as Demand in Other Areas Remains Sluggish, Consistent with Seasonal Patterns
Modest Year-Over-Year Dips in Buyer Traffic Seen in Three of Four U.S. Regions July 24, 2019 – For the second consecutive month, the Northeast Region reported a more modest year-over-year increase in buyer traffic while the rest of the U.S. saw signs of showing activity stabilizing, according to the latest ShowingTime Showing Index® report. The 0.9 percent year-over-year increase in the Northeast is a positive sign for the region that had, until May, seen a full year of slower activity. Though the West, South and Midwest regions each saw drops in year-over-year activity, the declines were more modest compared to prior months. The West Region's 5.8 percent decline is the smallest percentage decline in the region for more than a year, while the South's 1.5 percent dip is the lowest since September 2018 – the last time the region saw a year-over-year increase in buyer activity. "Year-over-year showing traffic continues to stabilize, as June's overall activity was in line with June 2018 while the Northeast Region recorded a modest increase," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "Activity in the South and Midwest remains slightly slower than in 2018, though there is more buyer activity in the lower price quartiles of the market. Pricier homes continue to see less traffic compared to the same time last year."

"Showing activity stabilized and is holding steady, but it is still slightly off from the higher levels registered in 2018," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy.

January's 9% Drop in Real Estate Showing Activity Marks 6th Consecutive Month of Year-Over-Year Declines
Sluggishness portends slower spring showing and sales activity in key markets across U.S. Feb. 21, 2019 – If January is any indication, home sellers are bracing themselves for a tenuous start to 2019, as the first month of the year saw a nine percent drop across the U.S. in year-over-year residential showing activity, according to data from the ShowingTime Showing Index®. In a notable contrast to January 2018, when the 12-month average year-over-year increase in showing traffic nationwide was 7.7 percent, January 2019 saw the 12-month average decline to almost one percent. The decrease in showing activity has been felt throughout the country but most noticeably in the West Region, which experienced an 18.8 percent year-over-year drop last month. The Midwest Region recorded a year-over-year decline of 12.4 percent in January, with the South Region not far behind with a year-over-year drop of 11.5 percent. The Northeast Region saw a more modest drop of 2.4 percent in January. "Showing traffic continues to subside from last year's impressive heights," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "In January, we did not see an influx of home shoppers to reverse year-over-year declines in showings, which suggests that we may see slower traffic this spring compared to last year."

The Midwest was next with an 8.4 percent year-over-year decline, its fourth consecutive month of decreasing demand. The South Region dropped 5.0 percent, while the Northeast declined 2.0 percent. "We are ending the year with demand going down year over year across the U.S., particularly in the West and the Midwest," said ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy. "It's important to be careful when looking at showing traffic in the slow season, but the trends we observed in 2018 point to a further slowdown in demand in 2019's busy season. That should relieve upward pressure on home prices and possibly lead to a buildup of inventory." The ShowingTime Showing Index, the first of its kind in the residential real estate industry, is compiled using data from property showings scheduled across the country on listings using ShowingTime products and services, which facilitate more than 4 million showings each month. Released on or around the 20th each month, the Showing Index tracks the average number of appointments received on an active listing during the month.

Low Inventory and High Prices Cause Showing Traffic to Level Off in Parts of the U.S.
Homebuyer showings decline in the West and Northeast, cool in the Midwest; South increases again Aug. 22, 2018, Chicago, IL – As high home prices and a continued inventory shortage in many markets have contributed to the residential real estate industry forecasting a slowdown, the July 2018 ShowingTime Showing Index® revealed waning showing traffic in some regions of the U.S. Showing activity throughout the country increased by 0.3 percent year over year in July, the third consecutive month that the U.S. ShowingTime Showing Index recorded buyer interest decelerating compared to the previous year. The June 2018 figures revealed a 0.0 percent change in showing traffic from 2017, while May showed a 1.2 percent year-over-year increase. The 12-month average year-over-year increase was 4.6 percent. The slowdown has been particularly apparent in western markets where inventory remains tight, ShowingTime Chief Analytics Officer Daniil Cherkasskiy said, as showing activity in the West Region has declined for six consecutive months and was down 6.5 percent compared to last year at this time. The Northeast Region has also experienced a run of consecutive monthly year-over-year decreases, with showing activity declining by 2.0 percent compared to last year. "The ShowingTime Showing Index has been forecasting a slowdown for the past few months due to showing activity remaining relatively steady or lower compared to last year, which has been in large part affected by lower inventory in several major markets in the West Region," Cherkasskiy said. "That trend now appears to be impacting some areas of the Northeast, as well." Buyer interest remains high in the South Region, however, which has experienced year-over-year increases for 10 straight months and saw showing traffic increase 4.6 percent compared to last July. The Midwest Region showed a slight 0.6 percent year-over-year increase.

Buyers' agents can schedule a showing right on the listing where they will have the option to create a showing tour, ask the listing agent questions, schedule more showings, re-arrange showings, and map the showing tour. In the Showing Note app agents can share all this information with their clients without printing anything. Showing Note is a free mobile app that allows buyers to access all the information their agent shares with them, and take photos, videos, and notes at each listing. Since everything is saved in one place, they don't have to worry about keeping track of each listing or try to remember everything when it comes time to make a decision. If a client likes a particular listing they can share their saved Showing Note content with fellow collaborators. Listing agents also have free features which allow them to decide who can schedule showings on their listings and how each party will get notified. When an agent or buyer schedules a showing on their listing it can trigger an automatic showing request email that is sent to confirm the appointment or suggest a different time. Whether its the seller, buyer, listing agent or buyers' agent, these emails can be sent to any combination of parties that need confirmation for the showing. Agents that upgrade to the full paid version of Showing Suite have access to the wide breadth of award winning systems developed specifically for real estate. In Showing Suite Ultimate, agents can gather feedback from listings with Showing Suite's Home Feedback system, coordinate their schedule with the Showing Calendar, take advantage of the built in Followup CRM system, evaluate performance with satisfaction surveys, and access everything on the go with the Showing Suite mobile app to manage showings and appointments on the go. An enhanced showing schedule system called Showing Robot is also an option for listing agents to enable on their listings and provides a more direct means of appointment scheduling through texts and phone calls in addition to emails. Showing Robot provides the listing agent with a local phone number and serves as a built in sign rider text message marketing system for their listings. This Text2Show service ensures that buyers will be able to schedule showings right when they see the house and sign rider. Buyers can choose a time for their showing, view the mobile property flyer, and request an immediate showing by clicking the InstaShow button if they want to see the listing right away. Agents save time and money by not having to subscribe to an outside sign rider marketing system and using the one already available in their Showing Suite account.

Chicago, IL, September 8, 2014—ShowingTime, the real estate industry's leading showing management technology provider, and Homesnap, provider of Homesnap Pro, an agent-only mobile tool that puts real-time MLS information into agents' mobile phones and tablets, announced today that their products will be integrated in markets in which both platforms are available, starting with MRIS.

When those listings are viewed in Homesnap Pro, the 'Schedule a Showing' button will appear, automatically providing a quick, simple scheduling option. Homesnap Pro launched in May with MRIS, the industry-leading Mid-Atlantic MLS. Due to the enthusiastic reception by MRIS customers to Homesnap Pro, other MLSs quickly signed on. Homesnap Pro is now also available to members of The MLS™/CLAW and Palm Springs Regional Association of REALTORS®, and will soon be available to agents in the Greater El Paso Association of REALTORS®. New MLSs are being added to Homesnap Pro's footprint each month. "We are very excited about this integration and look forward to launching this collaborative service for MRIS customers," said ShowingTime President Michael Lane. "ShowingTime for the MLS, available in more than 75 MLSs across the country, helps agents remove some of the obstacles to showing a home; adding the 'Schedule a Showing' button to Homesnap Pro makes perfect sense to streamline the scheduling process further," he added. "Homesnap Pro gives agents unprecedented access to their MLS while in the field and makes them more productive and efficient. Adding ShowingTime to Homesnap Pro puts the next logical step in place: scheduling a showing with just a tap," said Homesnap CEO Guy Wolcott.
