In this video we’ll cover the basics of generating statistical charts in Matrix. To start, click Stats.
By default, you’ll start on the presets tab which can be used to quickly generate charts, but first you’ll need to enter search criteria to determine which properties will be used to calculate the chart data.
To customize the information that you want in your chart, click the Customize tab. Here you can adjust parameters like the time frame, statistics, or the way the results will be grouped in your chart. As an example, let’s choose the average sale price over this year to date and group them by month. We can customize further by using the advanced and style options. Use advanced options to add a secondary statistic to your chart and use style options to change the chart’s appearance. After filling everything out, click generate and Matrix will create a chart
Below the chart you can see the parameters used to create the chart as well as the approximate number of listings that were captured by your search criteria. You can expand or reduce that amount by clicking the search tab where you can make changes to your search criteria before generating a new chart.
Click print to print or save the chart to a PDF file or click email to send the chart in an email out of Matrix. You can also switch to the data view to see the data points in the data set. This information can be exported to a CSV file if need.
Now if you’d like to view these stats at a later time, you can save your parameters as a preset. After generating the chart, click the save tab.
Give your preset a name
check here if you want to include the search criteria you used to the preset
