Home Buyer's Trove Just Got More Valuable with Online Lookups; Melissa Data Offers Up-to-Date Data on Home Values, School Ratings, Neighborhood Crime, Traffic and More at No Cost
Business Wire, July 18, 2005
RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA, Calif. -- Melissa Data, a leading provider of data-cleansing software and services, today announced a host of new and powerful online search tools aimed at real estate agents, property investors and home buyers looking for the next hot spot.
Dubbed the Online Lookups, Melissa Data will offer valuable data and statistics on a range of topics and house them (pun intended) under one roof. This free resource will allow the savvy home buyer or agent to search across dozens of unique databases to make informed purchase decisions.
By entering a ZIP code, searchers will find home values, school demographics, crime statistics, traffic safety, street names, climate averages, population and more.
By aggregating hard-to-find data and housing it in one easy-to-use location, Melissa Data hopes to become the de facto location for all consumer statistical data. Using proprietary algorithms and tabling, Melissa Data can present data from disparate databases in one easy-to-navigate and easy-to-find location. Since the launch of its Lookups service, over 200,000 subscribers have benefited from this valuable Internet tool. Who says the best things on the Web are not free?
"Our 20 years of experience in the data quality industry have made us experts in sorting and parsing data and presenting it to the consumer in a manner that breathes life into what would otherwise be mundane numbers and figures," explained Ray Melissa, president of Melissa Data. "There is a lot of valuable information available and our goal is to locate it, organize it and make it useful to our customers."
Melissa Data's Online Lookups are free up to 10 lookups per day. Registered users will get 50 free per day. For volume users, a subscription is available which allows up to 500 lookups per day for $10 per month or $50 per year. To try these new search tools, consumers can go to: www.melissadata.com/lookups/house.
Melissa Data specializes in ZIP code-related data. The company's Online Lookup site features 32 specialized databases to search. Visitors can also use this site to verify mailing addresses, check phone numbers and access the latest demographics on states, cities and counties.
