REBGV Stats Centre continues to grow
in popularity. Approximately 900 members
already come to REBGV Stats Centre each
month and create more than 13,000 graphs

The charts and graphs you create are
dynamic, which means that every time you
create something, it is using the most cur
rent data available.
The sharing option is a quick two-step
process. Click share in the top right corner
of your graph, choose if you want your
data "static" or frozen in time or "live".
(Choosing the live options means the data
will update every month, as will the links
that you share.) Lastly, choose the format
you'd like to share in: PDF, embedded on
your website, raw in CSV fonnat (transfer
able to Excel) or via social media websites
like Facebook, Twitter or Linkedln.

local real estate information than with
REBGV's Stats Centre. To find the tool,
click on the Stats Centre button in the top
left comer of the www.reaitorlink.ca home
page, or go to the 'Statistics' section of the
