How the models work — and where they don’t
AI is raising the floor on speed and consistency in US real estate analysis, but it’s also concentrating decisions in models that end-users can’t always inspect. We publish the mechanics and the gaps alongside the numbers.
Valuation
Ensemble AVM: gradient-boosted trees over hedonic features, plus computer vision on listing photos for condition. Confidence band reflects comp density and recent volatility.
Underwriting
OM / rent-roll / T-12 extraction via LLM + OCR, mapped to a standardized pro forma. Deal score blends IRR hurdles, DSCR, and market regime indicators.
Market signals
Metro forecasts from hierarchical time-series models, combined with mobile location panels, supply pipeline data, and climate / credit risk overlays.
Known limits
Thin markets (rural, luxury, trophy office) widen error bands. Regime shifts (rate shocks, policy) flow through before retraining catches up. Bias audits published annually.
