Patent ID: 7818265

Claim:
A processor implemented method for evaluating real estate properties with respect to each other comprising the steps of: a. receiving, via a terminal connected to the processor, first input that identifies two or more properties which are for sale; b. receiving numerical values of two or more parameters for each of said two or more properties; c. receiving a numerical weighting factor for each of said two or more parameters; d. calculating by the processor, from received numerical values, an average numerical value of each of said two or more parameters; and e. calculating by the processor, for each of said two or more properties a score comprising: two or more terms each related to a different of said two or more parameters; and a summation of said two or more terms; wherein, for the score for a first of said two or more properties: each term is proportional to the numerical weighting factor for the parameter to which the term relates; at least one term is proportional to the numerical value of one of said two or more parameters for the first of said two or more properties; and said at least one term is inversely proportional to the average numerical value of said one of said two or more parameters.
