# Set up Market Watch

> Create a Market Watch for a city or ZIP, describe your buy box, run a scan, and manage your watches within your plan's limits.

Market Watch keeps an eye on a market for you. You tell it where you invest and what you want to buy. It checks that market on a schedule and brings you a short list of leads to work through. This page covers creating and managing a watch. To work the leads, see [Review Market Watch leads](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/guides/find-and-evaluate-a-property/review-market-watch-leads/).

> **Plan limits:** Market Watch is included on the Silver and Gold plans. Silver includes **1** watch with up to **10** leads per watch. Gold includes up to **4** watches with up to **20** leads per watch. Compare plans in [Plans and what's included](https://docs.reinvestorhub.ai/reference/plans-and-billing/plans-and-what-is-included/).

## Add a watch

1. **Open Market Watch**

   In the sidebar, select **Deal Search**, then the **Market Watch** tab.

2. **Start a new watch**

   Select **+ add watch** at the top right. If you have no watches yet, you can also select **Configure Market Watch** in the middle of the page. A panel opens on the right.

3. **Name it**

   Enter a **Name** you will recognize, such as "San Antonio Rentals".

4. **Choose the market**

   In **Market**, enter a city and state, such as "San Antonio, TX", or a ZIP code, such as "78211". A city covers the whole city. A ZIP covers just that ZIP.

5. **Describe your buy box**

   Under **Buy box**, enter what you are looking for: **Min price**, **Max price**, **Min beds**, **Min baths**, **Min sqft** and **Max sqft**. Leave a field blank if you have no preference.

6. **Pick property types**

   Under **Property types**, select any of **Single family**, **Multi family**, **Condo**, **Townhouse** and **Land**. Select a type again to turn it off. Leave all of them off for no preference.

7. **Save**

   Select **Save Market Watch**.

*The panel lists your active watches at the top and the form for a new one below.*

## Run a scan

A watch scans on a schedule, and you can start a scan yourself. Each scan uses part of your allowance, so every watch has its own button and only that watch is scanned.

- With **one** watch, select **Run Scan Now** at the top right of the **Market Watch** tab.
- With **several** watches, a **Watch:** row appears above the table. Select the play icon next to a watch's name to scan that one.

While a scan runs, a notice names the watch being scanned. You can leave the page, and the results appear when it finishes.

## Remove a watch

In the watch panel, select the trash icon on the watch. A dialog asks you to confirm the removal and says it will stop scanning that market. Select **Remove** to confirm, or **Cancel** to keep the watch.
