Why Scores Matter

$27,100

More equity on a typical home over 3 years

Our top-scored markets (top 20%) returned 142% more equity than bottom-scored markets. On a typical $242K metro home, that's the difference between $46,700 and $19,600 in appreciation over three years.

Our Process

How It Works

Step 1

40+ Metrics

We collect data from Zillow, Census, BLS, and other authoritative sources across every major metro area.

Step 2

ML Analysis

Elastic net cross-validation identifies which metrics actually predict future market returns — not just correlations, but causation signals.

Step 3

Score 0–100

Each location receives a score with letter grade (A+ to F) and confidence level, updated as new data arrives.
