Appraisals/Brokers - Start your engines and show off
Magnus (The Believer)Drew at GeekEstateBlog posted an entry about a game called "Price Me Now" from the folks at Realius. It's about guessing the sales price of real life listings. Sounds great!
"Realius will allow conference attendees to play its flagship game, Price Me Now™, which challenges players to guess the price of homes for sale in their market, on the show floor. Price Me Now™ evaluates player guesses and awards points based on their performance against the “Realius” price, an aggregate combination of previous player price estimates and the actual list price. Real estate companies and professionals can purchase placement in the game as “coaches” who guide players and make their own professional price guesses."
Will be interesting to see how it will be used by the RE industry, maybe it will be used...
... at universities
Why not include this game in courses about pricing the real estate market?
... by brokers/appraisals
This is the opportunity for all brokers and appraisals to show that they are better then Zillow to forecast the sales price!
I guess they don't include listings in Sweden... ;-)

We have designed our games so that we can take listings from anywhere in the world. Identifying a reliable data source is the hard part. Let us know of good sources for listings in Sweden and other areas of Europe and we will add it to the list of feeds for the game. We need multiple photos of the home and a good description. It will take a little extra time to integrate the European feeds, but we will bring them in.
We, too, are looking forward to seeing how the games are used within the industry. We see a lot of potential for consumer and industry education and engagement.
