Break the data into blocks of 50,000 (example 1 to 50,000, 50,000 to 100,000 and 100,000 to 150,000). You can highlight the records with different colors to make it easier to delineate. Note which block has the most or similar amounts of data. For a hypothetical example: 1 to 50,000 has 290 and 50,000 to 100,000 has 345 and 100,000 to 150,000 has 320 and 150,000 to 200,000 only has 100 records. From this we can delineate that the records we want to target are 150,000 and below.

Sort for Square Footage

Break the data into blocks of 500 and use the same method as before to determine the blocks that have the most or similar amounts of data. For example 1-500, 500- 1000,1000-1500 etc.

Sort for Year Built

Break the data into blocks of 25 years and use the same method as before to determine the blocks that have the most or similar amounts of data. For example 1900-1925, 1925-1950, 1950-1975. Final Determination of the Perfect Property Avatar Note the targeted range for each key variable. This will determine what your perfect property avatar is. For example, Our target properties would be tax assessed for 100,000 to 150,000, have 1000-1500 sqft and 1950-1975.

These are the properties we will target when we build our list for motivated sellers.
