Quarterly Data Updates

For most of the tools, the data is updated quarterly — approximately 55 days after the end of each calendar quarter. (The monthly regional data is updated monthly, roughly 55 days after month-end.)

Our database tracks specific house-by-house transactions in each market. Collecting and analyzing that information takes considerable time and effort — there's nowhere on the planet to get this data (or even inferior third-party databases) any faster; it simply doesn't exist.

Fortunately, real estate market trends change slowly and are easy to track — they don't whipsaw up and down like the stock market.

In our back-testing, the lead time was more than sufficient to capture market changes well in advance. That's the benefit of matching Technical Analysis tools with the most accurate nationwide database of home prices: you get months of additional time to take action. On the new platform, the Market Outlook, Wealth Phase, and S.T.A.R./T.A.P.S. studies all refresh on this quarterly cadence.
