Alright, let’s get real for a second. I’m going to let you in on a little secret—not to hurt your feelings, but because I want to see you absolutely shine online!
Here it is: Most of the market stats I see on realtors’ feeds could use a little love. You know the ones I’m talking about—they’re often bland, hard to follow, and look like they were copy-pasted straight from the brokerage’s website. And unless your audience is full of real estate pros or finance buffs, they probably have no idea what they’re looking at.
Cramming a bunch of numbers onto a tiny screen? That’s a recipe for information overload, and spoiler alert: it’s not helping you build trust or showcase your expertise.
But don’t worry—we’re going to fix that! Today, I’m sharing easy ways to make your market stats pop, grab attention, and actually speak to your audience. We’re turning those numbers into stories that build trust and naturally attract leads.
Step 1: Know Your Audience
Before we dive into Canva, let’s talk about the most important step: explaining what those numbers mean. Sure, your followers want to know the average sale price, but more importantly, why should they care?
Are you speaking to first-time homebuyers? What do these numbers mean for them? Or are you targeting sellers in a specific area? Your job is to interpret the data for your ideal clients and tell them why it matters.
Step 2: Create a Market Stat Template in Canva
Now, onto the fun part—designing! Let’s make your market stats look as good as they are informative. Canva makes this ridiculously easy, so here’s how you do it step by step:
- Start with a Photo or Brand Image: Grab a photo that fits the vibe of your brand. Maybe it’s a beautiful home or a stylish living room—something that will catch your audience’s eye.
- Add Your Brand Colors: Pop in your brand colors behind the photo to create a consistent look. You want your posts to look cohesive and professional, not like they were slapped together last minute.
- Title It: This is where you can get creative! Keep it clear but eye-catching. For example, use something like “The Market: [City]” in big, bold letters. You want people to stop scrolling and actually read your post.
- Choose Key Stats: You don’t need to overload your audience with every single stat. Pick the ones that matter most—average sale price, new listings, and days on the market. Keep it simple and easy to digest.
- Use Charts and Graphs: Canva has some great chart options that make your stats pop. Use a bar graph for sale prices or a line chart for days on the market. Just make sure the data is easy to read and fits your brand.
Step 3: Add Context
This is where most realtors drop the ball. It’s not enough to just post numbers—you need to explain what those numbers mean for your audience.
- If the average sale price is down, what does that mean for buyers?
- If new listings are up, why should sellers care?
Give your audience the context they need to understand the market and how it affects them.
Step 4: Make It Interactive
Want your market stats to really stand out? Turn them into a carousel post where users can swipe through for more info. This keeps things engaging and allows you to break down the data in a way that’s easy to follow.
Final Thoughts: Market Stats That Build Trust
And there you have it—market stats that not only look great but also build trust with your audience. When you explain the “why” behind the numbers and make your stats visually appealing, you’re not just sharing information—you’re becoming the expert your audience turns to when they have questions about the market.
