Google Gadgets

Saneprice.com believes in open access to data. We have created igoogle gadgets to access the trend graphs. You can add these gadgets to your igoogle or to your google.com or your orkut page by clicking on .

The gadget lets you choose a city to watch trends and also a refresh frequency. For instance, our igoogle page looks like this:

We will be adding more gadgets and visualizations as days go by.

Graphs

We have added summary graphs for the home page. The graphs track the median price per locality. Even within a given locality, price swings are extreme. Median price value seems to be the more sensible way to present this data. However, since these are median prices, they will not reflect the prices of the highest end apartments or the lowest end apartments. These graphs are suitable to watch trends in the market.

Also as we gather more data and the graphs become coarse grained, the volatile swings in prices would go down. These graphs are plotted on a daily basis now, hence the crazy price swings. Once we move past this and go towards weekly reporting, the results would be much more smoother.

For absolute values of properties, one should use the search functionality. Search results can now be viewed as graphs as well.
