Filter Use

Use the "Stage 01" filters to choose your Macro Market Level filter. Use the "Stage 02" filters to further narrow your Micro Markets.
Build New Custom Filter

Choose a Primary Market Indicator from the drop down list. Customize each PRIMARY indicator by selecting the 'option' (Raw, Percentile Rank, % Change, etc) from the next row. Once selected, a new 'range slider' is added below and the map or table is instantly updated.

You can use the same primary indicator multiple times if additional options are available. Applying more than 10 indicators simultaneous may slow response time.

Strategic Market Scanners

Strategic Market Scanners (Magic Buttons)

These are pre-configured Filters refined by the experts at HousingAlerts to give you a leg-up on your REI Market research.

The resulting lists of markets should generally have higher appreciation and activity levels than markets not making the lists. They do not represent the only markets for successful investing as not every potential "hot" market clears all filters. Of course, no one can guarantee your success. This is presented for academic purposes, not investment advice. You should always do your own Due Diligence.

Map Score
NOTE:

Some indicators (i.e. - Home Price Appreciation rates) are only available as "RAW" scores while others (i.e. - Hot Market Scores) are only available in percentile RANK format.

Micro Markets (counties, zip codes & neighborhoods) typically do not have enough data to produce a statistically valid RAW score, so we use the 'Parent' Market's RAW score.

RANK/PCT

PERCENTILE RANKINGS are expressed as a score from ‘0’ (weakest) to ‘99’ (strongest) for that specific indicator. For example, a score of ‘93’ means THAT market scored higher (stronger) than 93% of all similar U.S. markets. Percentile rankings are useful for measuring RELATIVE performance BETWEEN markets, not for measuring the absolute performance.

RAW

RAW Score reports the actual numerical value for that particular indicator. Raw scores do not rank or compare a market’s score against any other market; multiple markets could have the same or similar raw scores.

When the indicator itself is a combination of other indicators (such as the Raw Master Score) the raw score measures the absolute performance based on that indicator’s historical range, normalized using a '0' to '99' scale (99 being the 'strongest').
