What is the Days on Market number counting?
Days on market is the median or average number of days between when a property is listed and when an offer is accepted in a given month. Calculations are based on sold data.

How do I share custom reports?
First, create your custom chart with your desired filters and parameters. Then, press “Share” in the upper-right corner of the graph. Select live or static data, and choose how you want to share it. Keep in mind that PDFs cannot have live data.

Do my shared charts expire?
Upon initial creation, shared charts are automatically active for 6 months. Charts will be extended by an additional 2 months if the chart’s creator is an active MLS subscriber and the chart has been visited in the past 90 days and is within 60 days of its expiration date. Users can also renew charts by logging into InfoSparks and visiting the chart within 30 days of expiration.

Do live charts update the profile information if it’s changed?
The profile info displayed on shared charts should match the data that’s currently available in the feed. If the user data is changed in the feed, the profile info on live charts will be updated as well, with a possible short delay until we download the changed record.
