Methodology and data
Market data through August 2026. Crash risk and the price forecast were last scored for June 2026. The report re-reads the latest data every time you open it, so it updates as new monthly data lands.
Sources include Zillow home values and rents, Realtor.com and Redfin listing and sales data, the Census Bureau, FEMA, the FBI, Treasury and NAIC insurance data, and NCES school data. The buyer verdict combines three pillars (price outlook, negotiating leverage, affordability) and only reads Favorable or Unfavorable when at least two of them agree; missing inputs are listed, never filled in. Costs are estimates for a typical home with 20% down, not quotes.
Informational only, not financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, a loan offer, or a rate quote. Crash risk and the forecast are data-driven estimates, not predictions.
