A real estate business is built on solid, long-term decision-making. And there is no way to effectively make those plans without the most accurate, contextual and up-to-date information—which is exactly what Dr. Lisa Sturtevant provides every day. As the first ever MLS-based economist, Sturtevant spent 2022 putting together a huge variety and volume of vital reports, analyses and hyper-relevant forecasts, creating a road-map for both real estate professionals and consumers to find success.

Perhaps the most groundbreaking task Sturtevant took on in 2022 was the “On MLS Study,” which sifted through 840,000 transactions in order to specifically quantify the enormous benefits of MLS usage in a home sale or purchase.

“Real estate agents will need to complement their local market expertise with thoughtful and forward-looking market insights,” Sturtevant says. “I enjoy playing a role in helping agents better understand market dynamics that not only help them succeed, but also allow others to achieve their dream of homeownership.”
