Therefore I cannot legally list my recent sales on the site. Unfortunately the site will not allow us to enter the basic data without listing the sold price. I would suggest the site be updated to allow sales to be posted without the sold price so as not to conflict with the state laws regarding sales. Thank you for your time.

It would provide the information that everyone is looking for. However, I think that there would be no way to create a "one stat" show. For example, if you just look at batting average, you are missing a lot of the game. What happened in those at bats? At the very least you'd have an AVG-SLG-OBS situation, where there are three pieces of the puzzle coming into play and trying to give a broader picture of the real estate puzzle.
