Layers help you visualize data on the Mortgage MarketSmart maps. Learn how to add a forecast layer for an entire market as well as for borrower segment, add property listing points, view and filter data behind the map, and more.

Click on the Start a Project tile.

Click on the Add Layer button.

Click on the Data Layer dropdown.

Fill out the Pop-up window:

  • Layer Name

  • Select the attribute to view in the map box

  • Attribute year

  • Location type

To select a specific MSAs, click the MSAs.

There are two ways in selecting MSAs:

  1. Scroll down all MSAs list and select.

Type in the specific MSAs

Step 6

After selecting MSAs. Click Save.

To add more layers, repeat the same process.

If you want to add some listings to your map,click "Add layer" and then "Add listings,". Fill out the information and then hit save.

Every diamond represents a listing. If you want to see the listings that have been newly listed or the listings that have been on the market for the last 10 days, click on the down arrow, hit "View data," and from here, click "Add filter" and select "Days on Market". And then in the comparison box, choose "less than or equal to 10" and hit apply. And you'll notice that it will go from thirty thousand listings down to 1912 listed in the past week.

Return to the map by clicking the map icon.

And then finally, click "Add layer" and if you want to see all of the churches and places of worship on the map, go to places and type "Places of Worship" in the category.

If you want to change the look of the layer, click on the layer itself, the layer name, and then opacity, colors, and borders, accordingly. Hit apply.
