HouseCanary

HouseCanary is a residential real estate data and analytics company that also operates as a real estate brokerage. It was co-founded in 2013 to digitize and index information about homes, mortgages, and neighborhoods, and sells valuations, forecasts, and property data to financial institutions, lenders, investors, agents, and consumers.

Products include automated valuation models refreshed monthly; a real estate data API covering over 75 data points at property, block, block group, ZIP code, MSA, and state level; bulk property data delivered as standardized .csv files with monthly updates, also available through the Snowflake and AWS marketplaces; home price index and rental price index data; Market Insights for MSA and ZIP-level analysis; portfolio monitoring with LTV triggers and alerts on MLS status, liens, and AVM updates; automated valuation reports and a custom valuation and comp tool; a generative AI assistant; and a customer engagement platform for lenders.

The national dataset covers 136M+ US properties. The company reports a 2.7% median absolute percentage error on valuations and a 1.7% median absolute HPI 12-month forecast error. HPI data provides historical figures and a 3-year forecast down to the ZIP level for over 19,000 ZIP codes, with risk and return calculations; RPI forecasts are modeled every two to three days and cover over 11,000 ZIP codes. The company says 6 of the top 10 single-family rental REIT operators use its analytics and brokerage services.
