Anyone know an easy way to put tables in a WordPress post? This was far too painful…

Update: This plugin looks like it may be the easiest way to get tables into a WordPress post. I haven't fully tested it yet, but it looks very promising… you can import CSV files as tables, format table settings, etc. all within your WP back end.

Comments

We always appreciate your comments! Phoenix Real Estate Guy uses two commenting systems, Facebook and LiveFyre. LiveFyre is the most robust system (and easy to use!). It allows you to login with Twitter, Facebook, Google+ LinkedIn, OpenId, LiveFyre and as a "Guest". I recommend getting a LiveFyre account, it has some great features (just click the LiveFyre button when you write your comment).

 

BLOG COMMENT POLICY: We respectfully ask that you use your real name (first name only is fine) and not use keywords (Why no keywords?). The only real "comment rules" are be civil -- no personal attacks -- and no advertising. (See the full comment policy here). Opinion and debate are welcome, but attack the idea, not the person.

I suspect what you're seeing is due to using averages. The actual DOM varies wildly. Remember, if one home sells in a day, and another sells in 180 days, you've got a 90 day average DOM.

Also, the average DOM is trending upward (which you can't tell from the above data).

And we get new listings coming on the market every day, which suppresses the average DOM number.

What would be telling is to plot a histogram of DOM for current listings. Unfortunately, that would be very painful data to extract from our MLS...

The numbers do not make sense to me. The average days on market are all in the neighborhood of 3 months while the ratio of units sold to units listed indicate between 5 and 10 months of inventory. Could you explain that to this newbie?
