Many sources can provide historical real estate information and maps. HomeValuePredictor is a predictive tool, meaning that is helps you look ahead rather than backwards. HomeValuePredictor is thus far more useful than other real-estate market applications

We’ve taken incredibly complex data and calculations and made essential results easy to understand using simple color coding. Each time you zoom or pan on HomeValuePredictor, the map is dynamically rendered (drawn), so you see current relative information – whether you are looking at the county level or block level. The color coded map view also allows you to quickly understand relative values and forecasts, which is critical for making informed real estate decisions.

Our team of statisticians spent three years crafting an algorithm that accounts for more than 640 variables down the census block level. We’ve used data that is updated quarterly, monthly, or, in some cases, even daily. We’ve tested our forecasts in markets across the country. Of course, a forecast is still a forecast and cannot be guaranteed, but we are confident that HomeValuePredictor gives you a clearer look into a market that any tool currently available. For 90% of the Census Block Group our 6-month forecast is under + or – 2.5% and we are getting better every day.

Yes. While you cannot make the dynamically drawn, real-time map-search available, you can embed static versions of the maps you create by copying and pasting a single line of code. This is done from within your own HomeValuePredictor account.

HomeValuePredictor, like most services of real value, costs money to deliver. Acquiring, cleaning, updating and vast amounts of data and present useful information in intelligible formats are ‘no small thing.

Every HomeValuePredictor subscription provides three services:
1. Access to HomeValuePredictor maps and charts for your specified geographic area (see our price list )
2. Use of the HomeValuePredictor e-newsletter tool (see sample), which allows you to send HomeValuePredictor maps and charts to your friends, clients and prospects.
3. Use of a tool to embedding static versions of the maps you create into your own website or blog

HomeValuePredictor was founded by Eddie Godshalk, a veteran real estate investor who grew frustrated by the lack of truly actionable market information. Together with a team of statisticians from The University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco State University, he created a proprietary algorithm for analyzing – and forecasting – real estate markets across the country.
