Use this article to add a Hot Sheets widget to your Dashboard, set up either a saved search hot sheet from one Saved Search or a quick hot sheet for the whole MLS, and open listings from a Hot Sheet. Each Hot Sheet counts new listings, price changes, and status changes over the timeframes you choose.
When to use a Hot Sheet
Open a Hot Sheet when you want a standing view of listing activity rather than a search you run again each time. A Hot Sheet updates automatically from current MLS data, which means the widget reflects new activity without anyone rerunning it.
Watch activity across the whole MLS
Watch a single city or property type
Watch for listings similar to one in your office coming on the market, to understand the effect on pricing
Check recent activity on the Saved Searches you built for active clients
Give a broker a view of activity across more than one office
Add a Hot Sheets widget to the Dashboard
Add a Hot Sheets widget to the Dashboard from Manage widgets, in the top right corner of the Dashboard.
Steps:
Click Dashboard in the top navigation bar
Click Manage widgets in the top right corner
Click Add hot sheet
The new Hot Sheets widget is added to the Dashboard and opens on a choice of two: From saved search, or New hot sheet.
Set up a saved search hot sheet
A saved search hot sheet tracks listing activity within the criteria of one Saved Search. Start with the search you want to monitor, such as a client's criteria or all listings for a specific brokerage or office, and save it as a Saved Search before you set up the Hot Sheet.
Once added, the widget is labeled Saved search hot sheet.
Steps:
In the new Hot Sheets widget, click From saved search
In the Edit hot sheet modal, choose the Saved Search to monitor
Set each timeframe from 0 to 998 days
Remove any statuses you do not want to track
Click Confirm
The Hot Sheet fills in on the Dashboard with listing activity from that Saved Search.
Tip: A more specific Saved Search makes a more useful Hot Sheet.
Learn how to build a search in Create a Search with Filters, and how to edit and manage it in Manage Your Saved Searches.
Set up a quick hot sheet
A quick hot sheet tracks listing activity across your whole MLS, narrowed by property type and status. Once built, its widget is labeled Quick hot sheet.
Steps:
In the new Hot Sheets widget, click New hot sheet
In the Edit hot sheet modal, enter a name for the Hot Sheet
Choose the Property Types to monitor
Set each timeframe from 0 to 998 days
Remove any statuses you do not want to track
Click Confirm
The Hot Sheet fills in on the Dashboard with listing activity matching your criteria.
Note: A new Hot Sheet opens with every status selected and with timeframes of 1, 7, and 30 days. Adjust either before clicking Confirm.
Open listings from a Hot Sheet
Click a bar or the status name beside it to open the listings included in that count in a new tab.
Hot Sheets count activity that occurred during the selected timeframe. A listing's status may have changed since then, so some of the listings that open may show a different status today.
