FORECAST MODEL

Our Econometric Model  is a forecast visual representation taken from mathematical formulations that predicts a real estate
 property location in terms of forecast value.
The higher a forecast number, the greater chance of property appreciation. In
converse, the lower the forecast, the greater risk of future price deceleration. We all strive to purchase properties where an
ample amount of buyers will be present when it comes time to sell. A high forecast is an indication that buyers will be plentiful.
In simpler terms, you will be able to apply any property to the model and predict the strength of Location, Location, Location.

Any good model has an easy mental and visual impact to the user. Our Model is named "The Spill Zone Model " and uses a
metaphor of rain to further simplify the model’s visual understanding. The model identifies the percentage chance of "rain,"
also know as the percentage of forecast "buyers" for your property. Traditional supply and demand rules in economics tell
us that the more buyers (demand) we have for our property, the greater the price (appreciation). Therefore the higher the forecast
for rain (buyers), the higher the prediction for future property appreciation.

Why call it "The Spill Zone"?

Just as your local news station forecasts weather for your state, county and local area, The Spill Zone Model will do the same and
take the forecast one step further to include your property’s neighborhood and surrounding area (locality) forecast. Each raindrop
is equivalent to a buyer. The higher the forecast for raindrops, the more buyers expected over the next three years. A spill zone is
created when an overabundance of buyers are in one area. The excessive buyer demand for purchasing property can create a shortage
of available "for sale" inventory in a given area. The limited supply of real estate inventory "for sale" forces many buyers to purchase in
adjacent geographical areas where demand is slightly lower. Thereby create a spill of buyers into the adjacent area. A spill can occur
when an individual neighborhood is extremely desirable which makes the adjacent neighborhood more appealing. A spill can also
occur at the city or state level. This spill effect creates additional buyer demand for your modeled property. When a property or adjacent
geography is impacted by high demand we refer to this as being in "The Spill Zone."When a property is in "The Spill Zone" it has the
likelihood of good appreciation over the next 36 months. This sounds simple and it is. However, a small amount of time is required to
answer the prompted question to receive the final analysis. All data are completely confidential. Any property with a forecast of over 80%
is considered in "The Spill Zone." In this instance the forecast is predicting ample buyers with healthy appreciation over the next 36
months. Anything under 80% is not considered in "The Spill Zone" and may be subject to limited appreciation or possible price
deceleration.

Brief background on econometric model.

You will find econometric models used in just about every form of monetary evaluation which impacts just almost every company in the
United States. The results are measured in terms of inflationary standings, interest projections, government spending and almost every
form of investing including real estate. Just turn on your local business news television station and for certain will hear about the impacts
on economic numbers and projections. What is unique to real estate is that most of us just do not know where to easily access a forecast. 
Sure we can read a brief article in a newspaper that will tell us what the current trend it and the future projection but we usually have to dig
real hard to find a specific form of data that is meaningful to our own real estate holdings. Luckily, this is not necessary anymore. Included
in Edsforecast.com are 5 year projections for over 350 metropolitan areas and a 3 year zip code -property specific forecast on over 60 million
properties within the USA. The forecast is sourced and created by Monarch Group LLC which owns and operates www.edsforecast.com.
Over  dozen economists, econometrists, and real estate professionals share forecast information derived from inputs of various data sources
that are fed into the econometric model. These include but are not limited to the following: U.S. Census Bureau, Federal Bureau of Investigation,
Uniform Crime Reports, Bureau of Labor Statistics-Consumer Price Index, Consumer Expenditure Survey, Index Office of Housing Economic
Oversight, National Association of Realtors, Moody’s Economy.com, National Association of Home Builders, State Association of Realtors,
Ed Ross, edsforecast.com personnel and the Expert Metropolitan Board.

How accurate is the forecast?

A real estate forecast is a scientific prediction based on the econometric model. The complexity and interrelationships between its variable is to
reduce error and increase the probability of accurate predictions. That being said, it is not perfect. The best way to measure the accuracy of the
economist model is to review how historical results have matched actual results. In our case the predictions in edsforecast.com are provided by
many resources and when a resource lacks historical accuracy we use the Expert Metropoliitan Board, as described earlier, to adjust or select a
new modeler. Our on-line results have been historically measured and challenged against actual real estate appreciations and depreciations for
the past five years. Edsforecast.com has achieved tremendous results on accuracy of the metro areas released. The results are as follows; 1) 69%
of all annual metro results have been predicted with an accuracy of five percent margin of error. This means that if the forecast for one metro area
showed an increase in appreciation of 2% edsforecast.com results were within the range of 1.9% to 2.1%. This is an incredible accurate prediction.
2) 28% fell within an accuracy of 5% to 20%. Still is still a very accurate predication. 3) The remaining 3% were over 20%. This means just a handful
of the metro areas had a high margin error. This is enough accuracy to make any investor feel extremely confident in using these predictions. One
more notable fact is that that over 70% of all missed predictions were under estimated in regards to appreciation. That makes the forecast very
conservative. A conservative prediction means that the extra appreciation gain would be a gift to the investor who has based decisions on less
equity gains.
