Data & Methodology

We believe good decisions come from clear information.

Most people who come here are trying to understand their options - whether that means selling a home, evaluating a property, or simply making sense of the current housing market. The insights we share are built to support that process with straightforward, useful context.

Where the data comes from

We draw from a range of public and third-party housing data sources, including:

• Redfin (pricing trends, comparable sales, market velocity)
• Zillow (home values, property details, market activity)
• Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis (FRED)
• National Association of Realtors (NAR) (historic median sale price)
• Realtor.com via FRED (historic median number of days on market)
• U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (housing programs and broader housing data)
• United States Census Bureau (demographics, population trends, and housing context)
• Public records and other widely available real estate datasets

These sources help us understand both the property itself and the broader conditions around it.

How we use it

Raw housing data can be fragmented and difficult to interpret on its own. To make it more useful, we:

• Combine data from multiple real estate sources
• Normalize and organize it for consistency
• Analyze property values, local market trends, and timing factors
• Apply our own models to estimate potential outcomes and options

This allows us to move beyond isolated data points and offer a more complete picture - whether someone is exploring how to sell a house, understand property value, or evaluate different paths forward.

What's ours

The underlying data belongs to its respective sources.

The way it's brought together, interpreted, and presented here is our own.

Our analysis is designed to highlight patterns, clarify tradeoffs, and provide a grounded view of what may be possible. It's not a formula for what you should do. It's just a way to better understand what you could do.

A note on accuracy

We work with reliable, widely used data sources and update our analysis regularly. Even so:

• Real estate data changes over time
• Property details and valuations can vary by source
• Market conditions shift—sometimes quickly

Because of this, the information here should be viewed as a helpful guide rather than a precise appraisal or guaranteed outcome.

How to use this information

If you're trying to decide whether to sell, when to sell, or what your property might realistically look like in today's market, this information is meant to give you a clearer starting point.

Some people use it to validate what they're already thinking.
Others use it to explore options they hadn't considered.

Either way, the goal is the same: clarity.

If it would help to talk through your situation or get a more tailored perspective, you're always welcome to reach out. We're here to listen and offer guidance - no pressure, just a conversation.
