STEP 01
Start with an address
Bring the home’s comparable sales, rent estimates and local market history together, so you can examine them in one place.
STEP 02
Compare within the local market
See how the home ranks for appreciation against comparable homes in its own market. Check the confidence flag to understand how much weight to give the score.
STEP 03
Explore the appreciation estimate
Read the measured market edge and estimated appreciation pace. With paid access, Investor Return lets you explore how appreciation, financing and costs affect the numbers, using assumptions you can change.
Resources
Follow a city down to the house.
Start with how New York or Chicago moved against the US, then follow the same prices down through the neighborhoods to the individual homes inside them, which is where your own address comes in.
Why it works
A source of truth on how residential properties appreciate.
We score a property against the alternatives in its own market, then translate the score into a measured appreciation edge in points per year and an estimated pace built on the market’s long-run growth. Use it to compare homes, explain an analysis to a client, or focus a portfolio review.
Beyond comps
Comps tell you what a property is worth today. We score it against the alternatives in its own market, then translate that rank into a measured market edge and an estimated appreciation pace.
Confidence alongside every score
Each score comes with a confidence tier. When local evidence is thin, the confidence flag helps you identify where more research is needed.
