HouseCanary builds products that use data and predictive models to help others make better real estate decisions.
COMPREHENSIVE DATA We track thousands of data elements every month, from national factors down to house level data. Together, we have built the most exhaustive proprietary dataset going back 40+ years. The data is analyzed to pinpoint the driving factors behind market change. Our databases are constantly expanding – great data is required for accurate forecasts.
PREDICTIVE FORECASTING Our platform uses big-data analytics to forecast real estate values at a local market level. Every month, we forecast 36+ months into the future. Our models predict more than 95% of the variation in price over time, and have been market tested. We’re constantly evolving our methods for even greater accuracy.
DATA VISUALIZATIONS We build products, advanced mapping and data visualizations to assist executives in the decision making process. We pinpoint down to the parcel level to identify new opportunities, or view zipcode-level heatmaps and charts for a bird’s-eye view of shifts in your local real estate market.
