Setting Up a Comparison

Choose the indicators in each market that matter you—lender concentration, loan size, rate of market growth, and much more. Weigh each one based on its importance to your lending strategy. Then choose the locations you want to rank, which can be at the MSA, county, or census tract levels.

Interpreting the Results

The Market Comparison Tool uses a proprietary algorithm to rank your selected markets based on your chosen criteria. When you run a comparison, you'll see a ranking of the locations as well as grouped tiers. As with all the data in Mortgage MarketSmart, you can view it in table format, or on a map.
