The drop down menu on the left contains property addresses which are loaded from the database. A user selects the address they want to compare houses to from the drop down menu. The desired address must be found in this menu for this application to work. Once a user has made their selection. They can click the “Find Comparables” button to start calculating similarity scores for every property.
The results are displayed on the map shown above. The blue point is the originally selected property (the address is also visible in the drop down menu ). The green markers are the properties most similar to the originally selected property while the red markers are the least similar ones. Each marker can also be clicked in order to reveal its address. This view makes it easy to see which properties are most similar.
A table view is also generated every time a new set of comparables are generated. The first row is always the originally selected property. The rest of the rows each correspond with a marker on the map. The rows also show various factors that went into the calculation of the similarity score including the similarity score itself.
Repeat the process to compare more properties.
