HousingWire’s data licensing product is getting a makeover.
The company announced Monday that it’s relaunching and rebranding that line of business from Altos Research to HousingWire Data, which will offer the proprietary dataset that Altos is known for. The data covers housing markets in 99% of ZIP codes in the U.S.
“There’s a reason the world’s top analysts and innovators use HousingWire Data,” HousingWire CEO Clayton Collins said in a statement. “With 20 years of experience tracking the real estate market and 99% national coverage, we offer the clearest, most current view of the active housing market — without tight restrictions on use cases.”
HousingWire Data’s intelligence can be used in forecasting models, valuation tools, analytics, business intelligence, risk modeling, strategy, forecasting, recruiting and marketing. The data can be directly integrated and is scalable.
HousingWire Data clients use the data in mortgage lending, appraisals, capital markets, proptech, institutional investments and consulting.
Founded by Mike Simonsen, Altos Research was acquired by HousingWire in 2022, and HousingWire Data originated from it. In the relaunch, Altos will continue as a software as a service (SaaS) platform for real estate professionals, but its data licensing product will provide deeper enterprise licensing under the new HousingWire Data moniker.
The proprietary database tracks more than 110 million properties in the U.S. and updates weekly, while legacy platforms can lag by as much as 90 days.
