Property Intel- Beta

Whitepages new real estate investment website is available in Beta, which means it is publicly available, but still in development and testing so certain data and features may not work as designed.  Property Intel helps real estate buyers and sellers analyze, compare, and close on the right properties to meet their financial goals. It includes comparative analytics, owner information, and neighborhood-level benchmarks for more than 150 million on and off-market properties nationwide. 

Below is a summary of the property data and features available on Property Intel, some of which are also displayed on Whitepages.com and important information to note about the data. (See Legal Notice below)

The data available on Property Intel includes: 

 

Property Value 

The Current Property Value is an estimate of what a property’s value is today if it were on the market. It is calculated by a proprietary model utilizing recent publicly available sales data. 

 

5-Year Appreciation Forecast

A snapshot forecast of the property value over the next years based on propriety algorithms that utilize publicly available and other historical house market data. 

 

Neighborhood and Market Benchmarks

These benchmarks help compare a property’s value and other statistics to others in the neighborhood and surrounding area, using a proprietary model that leverages public market data. 

 

Owner and Occupancy

Our best guess of the owner and occupancy status of a property derived from public records. 

 

Rental Income

This is a forecast of potential long-term rental income derived from publicly available market information and other factors such as location, property characteristics, and local demand. 

 

Estimated Profit

This is calculated using the Current Property Value as the purchase price and the projected appreciation at time of sale as the sales price. The calculation considers standard costs such as 4% closing costs, 6% selling fees and holding costs such as property taxes, insurance and mortgage payments. 

 

Holding Costs

This estimate includes the average insurance cost and estimated property taxes derived from public data.
