Property Management Examples:
- What’s the average rent for similar units in your area?
- What new developments are planned near your property?
- How are competitors pricing their amenities?
- What demographic trends are affecting your market?
Your Market Intelligence Need: Write down one specific question you need answered:
Why This Question Matters: How will this information help your decision-making?
Expected Outcome: What will you do with this information once you have it?
Understanding Real-Time Competitive Advantage
Traditional Competitive Analysis:
