This is a fun project I've been working on for the past year or so. I designed and coded the whole thing.

There's a lot more I want to add to it (like tracking specific products, ranking each "sale period" to find the absolute best time to buy, etc.)

Anyways, I'd love to hear your thoughts and ideas! Thanks :)

Lots and lots of research for each product/category

Very cool work. But If it’s not data driven and statistically validated it’s not that assuring. Maybe build it further to include that?

Yes, this is absolutely the plan, thanks! I needed to start somewhere to figure out what works; while it’s not 100% accurate [yet], it’s still a useful tool.

I’m glad I’m able to present it to people like yourself early who can help me quantify how important complete accuracy is vs other features.

In addition to working towards that, do you think a page explaining our current data-gathering practices would be useful at this point? The information on the site is still data-driven; the data is just being gathered and aggregated manually vs. directly feeding data sets in.

How did you come to the conclusion that houses are on sale 52% of the year. What does that even mean?
