Every agent reads the same market report.You'll be reading the market.

Real estate is the largest asset class on earth, and it's still analyzed with a one-page PDF that says "median price up 3%." Equities got Bloomberg in 1981. Housing never got one.

The data existed the whole time — trapped in the MLS, unqueryable, and thrown away every month. So we kept it. Every Austin closing since 1996, normalized, deduped, and turned into a time series that never resets.

Then we asked it questions nobody asks. The answers aren't what the industry repeats:

• Days-on-market is not a leading indicator. Across 30 years it moves with price, never ahead of it. Same for sale-to-list. They're thermometers, not barometers.
• Volume is the only real lead — about 8–9 months. It's why 2004 saw a 29% volume surge while prices sat flat, and prices peaked 10 months later.
• Austin doesn't rotate in time. It rotates in amplitude. The zips turn together within ~2 months. What changes each cycle is who wins, and by how much.

That's the difference between reading a report and reading the market. RealtyQuant is the desk we built to do the second one — and now you can rent a seat.
