Can You Predict Housing Trends Better than NAR?

The Council of Multiple Listing Services has long discussed the idea of being the source of homes sales data, but has never acted on this. So, ahead of the CMLS2015 conference, we're conducting an experiment to see how successful we might be if we gather that information direct from agents, brokers, and MLSs.
