Choose a timeframe and metrics

Keep the monthly timeframe and pick up to three metrics, like closed sales, inventory, and median sale price. The picker suggests the ones brokers reach for most.

Three metrics is plenty for one graphic.

Add cards to your design

Pick a widget, a stat card, a three stat strip, a full chart, and more, then click Add to design. Finished cards land on your canvas with the latest numbers, sourced to IAR.

How To

When to use

Steps

  1. In Canva, open Apps and search IAR Housing Hub
  2. Pick a market type, then your market
  3. Choose a timeframe and up to 3 metrics
  4. Pick a widget and click Add to design
  5. Save the set so next month is one click

Why it works

The numbers in your posts should be as current as your listings, but screenshotting charts and retyping stats is where updates go to die. The app drops live, IAR-sourced cards straight onto your canvas, so the design work you already do in Canva picks up credible local data for free. Your audience sees a broker who knows the market this month, not a stock graphic.

Pro tip

After your cards land, name the set and click Save set. Next month you load it from the Saved tab and skip the whole setup.
