Jan 16 - First PowerPoint download of 2024 is now available here.

Dec 4 - We are introducing revised price ranges to our charts and tables. This is because the ranges below $300,000 now have very few examples, in contrast to 2008-2015, while the high end now extends well beyond $3,000,000. The Squirrel charts and Cromford Public charts have been modified, and we will working on the Tableau charts over the next few weeks.

Aug 26 - We now have a video Jump Start Guide featuring Tina Tamboer.

Aug 7 - The split of 84142 into 2 parts - 85144 and a much smaller 85142 has been implemented in the ZIP code charts. For measurements that use closed sales data, the implementation is complete as this data is non-volatile. However it will take many weeks to to recalculate historic active and pending counts for the new ZIP codes, so these are only partly complete. Charts and tables that show only 85142 are referring to the OLD 85142. Those that show 85144 too, are showing the NEW 85142. Thanks for your patience during this complex transition.

May 20 - There is a Cromford® live Zoom presentation by Tina Tamboer nearly every weekday, but they are hosted and marketed by different sponsors. The sponsors send the links to invited guests as they are typically hosted on their accounts, so if you would like to attend of of Tina's Zoom meetings it is best to get on one of their email/text lists.
