Tap any market to load it into the gauge above. Merged weekly from four independent data sources.

Score blended per-signal from Redfin Data Center (primary), Realtor.com Research, and Zillow Research. Weights renormalise when a source lacks a signal. FRED provides national macro context (30-year mortgage rate, housing starts) but does not contribute to the per-metro score. Refreshed every Monday.
