System and method for providing property value estimates
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of preprocessing property value estimates for a group of substantially all properties in a predefined area comprising the steps, performed by a data processor, of:
- accessing, from a database containing property data, a set of property data corresponding to each property in the group;
determining a property price estimate for each of the properties in the group as a function of the set of corresponding property data; and
storing each of the determined property price estimates indexed to the corresponding properties in a forecast data repository as a predetermined property price estimate for each property in the group, wherein the accessing, determining, and storing occur according to a predetermined schedule and the forecast data repository is made available for users to obtain the predetermined property price estimates.

Abstract
A system preprocesses property value estimates based on stored property data. It stores the computed property value estimates in a forecast data repository. The system obtains updates or new property data and computes new estimates according to a predetermined schedule. Users can instantaneously obtain property value estimates that have been preprocessed, thus eliminating a long wait period necessary for on-line processing.
