Acres.com, a land intelligence platform, has launched the Acres Home Builder Index, a tool designed to help builders, retail developers, investors, and home service providers track current and projected residential market growth.
The Home Builder Index combines verified land transactions, detailed entity tracking, and layered site suitability data, including zoning, utilities, infrastructure, and natural hazards, into one map-based platform. The new tool can predict future activity by tracking builder acquisitions and new growth corridors years before construction begins.
Furthermore, the tool can identify the people behind holding companies and shell entities involved in land deals. It can also provide insights regarding zoning, utilities, comparable sales, detailed topography, and risk.
“By the time market changes show up in traditional datasets, land prices spike, markets become oversaturated, and you lose the advantage,” said Carter Malloy, founder and CEO of Acres. “The Acres Home Builder Index gives customers a head start, showing where homes will be built years from now, letting them act with confidence on trends before they hit the market.”
