The signals

Money moves before prices do.

Two leading reads: where building permits are accelerating, and where rents still have room. Both are computed from records, not from anybody’s newsletter.

Permits first

The momentum score.

Zip codes ranked by building-permit activity — a leading tell for where money moves before prices catch up. The early-gentrification score rewards zips that are accelerating, not just busy.

Then the people

Who is moving in, and what they earn.

Every county-to-county move we can trace and the income it brought — households that actually moved, not survey answers. Ten years of holding is a bet on more of them arriving.

Who Is Moving In

And the sellers going soft

Where the buyer holds the power.

Listings that quietly died unsold, the cities where buyers currently hold the leverage, and the month that really clears the highest price — all inside one nerd-stats corner built from every closing since 2019.

One more thing

Everything on this branch is education. It is not investment, legal or tax advice, nothing here is a recommendation to buy or sell anything, and no page knows your situation. The numbers are computed from county records and signed leases so you can audit them — do your own due diligence, and bring your own advisers before money moves.
