will have a status change from "Pending" to "Relisted".
How do you run that for your favorites list?

The "Sale Pending" status shows in Red. When it's relisted, "Sale Pending" disappears from the details.

This might actually be a fun game.
How should you get points? By predicting correctly what is going to happen?

Because I am not playing against anyone else, I just predict how many days until it is relisted. I am still waiting to see any of my picks actually sold. I would also like to start picking actual sales price against list price.
Could get elaborate.

Yep. It'd nice to see the daily status of all the properties on your favorite list(if there is change in the status) and how many times the status has changed. If the status has changed 10 times then all 10 should display on the report. I wonder Patrick get and massage the Redfin data to come up with something on those lines. It'll definitely help in knowing the general direction of market in that area.

The problem is getting the data!
Redfin and pretty much all other real estate sites forbid the scraping of their data in their "Terms of Use". Not that a site's terms of use is actually a contract of any kind, but still, they wouldn't like it and could cause trouble.
For over a year, I have had a Redfin Favorites list of houses I am interested in (Walnut Creek, Danville, Alamo). I made offers on a couple, but was outbid.
I decided to have fun with my list by predicting which will have a status change from "Pending" to "Relisted". Just today, I had a feeling that one of my picks would fall out. Bingo! It's back on the market for a 4th time in about a month. It was pending 3 times. I had put in an offer on it for list price:
2218 Tice Valley Blvd. Walnut Creek, CA.
