Recent Transactions
The Recent Transactions widget lists recently closed commercial real estate transactions in a table format. Each row includes the property name, address, property type, transaction amount, buyer and seller, date recorded, and price per square foot when available. Users can scroll through the table both vertically and horizontally to review recent deal activity and use it as a reference for pricing, active buyers, and comparable transactions. |

The Market Volume widget shows quarterly transaction volume by property type, broken out by Listed Volume and Closed Volume. The line chart allows users to see how market activity has changed over time and compare supply versus executed demand.
