1. A computer implemented method of evaluating a transaction by generating comparables information for the transaction, comprising the steps of(a) entering a first set of one or more search criteria into a computer, the search criteria representing one or more characteristics of other transactions;
- (b) searching a transactions data base containing data representing other transactions to identify a first set of one or more transactions in the data base meeting the search criteria; and
(c) displaying a multidimensional scatter plot of the first set of identified transactions on a computer display.

Abstract
A user enters search criteria for comparable transactions into a computer system and the computer system generates a scatter plot of deals meeting the search criteria from a transaction database. A computer cache, data tray, or “shopping cart” can be used to save relevant deals which then can be automatically incorporated into an electronically generated comps report.

18. A computer system adapted to generate comparables data for a transaction, comprising:
-
a computer; a data entry device adapted to receive from a user, and to enter into the computer, a set of search criteria, the search criteria representing one or more characteristics of another transaction; a computer display adapted to display information from the computer; a graphical user interface in the computer adapted to control the display of information on the computer display; a search engine adapted to search a transactions data base containing data representing a set of transactions to identify a set of one or more transactions in the data base meeting the search criteria; and evaluation software in the computer adapted to control the graphical user interface to display on the computer display a multidimensional scatter plot of the first set of identified transactions on the computer display. - View Dependent Claims (19)

20. A computer readable medium storing computer executable instructions that when executed by the computer, searches a transaction database to build a set of comparable transactions, displays those comparable transactions in a multidimensional scatter plot, and stores selected ones of those transactions in a data cache.
