What each part tells you
Five places to look, top to bottom.
Start here
The market in five numbers.
Median listing price, median rent, days on market, gross rental yield, and what a short-term rental earns next to a long-term lease.
TipUse gross rental yield as a quick screen before you look at costs.
Read the temperature
Is this market hot, neutral or cold?
Price and rent trends, how long homes sit, and interest rate pressure, with a plain explanation of what the temperature means for buyers and sellers.
TipIn a cold market, long days on market can mean room to negotiate.
Rent or own
Does the rent cover the cost to own?
Typical rent next to the monthly cost of owning with 20% down, plus the nightly rate and occupancy of short-term rentals in the ZIP code.
TipThis is the whole ZIP code. Run a Property Analysis to check a specific home.

How much to rely on it
A market report describes a ZIP code as a whole. Here's how to read it well.
Check how much it looked at
The overview shows how many sold and active properties are behind the numbers. More is steadier.
Look at the date
Every report shows when it was generated. Markets move, so newer is better.
A ZIP code isn't a house
Medians describe the area. A specific home can sit well above or below them.
What's inside every market report
- Median listing and sold price, and price per square foot
- Median rent and gross rental yield
- Days on market and sale-to-list ratio
- Market temperature, with price and rent trends
- Property tax rate and current mortgage rates
- Short-term rental nightly rate and occupancy
- Rent against the cost to own, compared with the city
- Key findings and notable recent sales
- A share link, PDF and Markdown export
