About CB Intelligence™

Market intelligence and long-horizon housing analysis for real estate professionals and investors.

CB Intelligence™ is a decision-support platform used by real estate professionals, buyers, and investors to understand how ZIP-code housing markets behave over the long term.

What CB Intelligence™ Is

Most market tools focus on displaying data points, recent transactions, or short historical windows. CB Intelligence™ extends the lens. Where standard MLS reports typically show 10 to 15 years of history, CB Intelligence™ analyzes ZIP-level market behavior across 30 to 50 years where data is available, providing materially deeper context before capital is committed.

The platform is designed not only to present information, but to interpret it in a structured, professional way so users can understand what the data actually means in real-world decision-making.

This platform emphasizes:

• long-horizon market memory
• cycle behavior and recovery patterns
• structural strengths and vulnerabilities
• buyer-fit alignment by time horizon

Core Intelligence Modules

Buyer Fit Analysis

Frameworks that align ZIP-level behavior with buyer profiles, risk tolerance, and holding horizons. Focuses on:

• primary residence vs capital-preservation profiles
• time horizon sensitivity
• volatility tolerance
• who a ZIP is not suitable for

Comparative Risk Context

Relative positioning between ZIPs to clarify trade-offs between:

• growth vs stability
• volatility vs durability
• speculative vs owner-occupied dynamics

Designed to support multi-ZIP decision making.

Structural Market Commentary

Plain-English analysis of the forces that shape long-term behavior, including:

• land and supply constraints
• buyer profile stability
• employment concentration
• policy and zoning sensitivity

This section intentionally highlights both strengths and risks.

Who Uses CB Intelligence™

Real Estate Professionals

CB Intelligence™ is used by agents and advisors to support client conversations with clear, ready-to-use analysis. Instead of manually assembling charts, interpreting metrics, and summarizing market conditions themselves, professionals can rely on structured ZIP-level insights that explain market behavior, neighborhood dynamics, and long-term risk.

The analysis helps agents explain why a neighborhood behaves the way it does, how it has responded to past downturns, and what tradeoffs buyers or investors should consider. This saves time, improves consistency, and strengthens the quality of advice delivered to clients.

Buyers and Homeowners

For buyers, CB Intelligence™ provides context beyond short-term pricing trends. The platform helps clarify how neighborhoods have historically behaved, how stable pricing has been over time, and how past market stress has played out, so expectations are grounded before a purchase is made.

Investors

For investors, CB Intelligence™ supports comparative evaluation across ZIP codes. Long-term pricing behavior, estimated ranges, growth patterns, volatility, and recovery timelines are paired with interpretive analysis, making it easier to assess relative risk and durability before committing capital.

What Other Platforms Miss

Most real estate platforms either surface raw data points or provide limited commentary. They rarely connect the dots.

CB Intelligence™ addresses this gap by pairing long-horizon data with structured interpretation across multiple layers, including market structure, cycle behavior, downside risk, recovery patterns, and neighborhood-level drivers such as long-term demand and schools.

Rather than leaving agents, buyers, and investors to interpret charts on their own, CB Intelligence™ provides clear summaries that explain what is happening, why it is happening, and how it has mattered historically. This turns fragmented data into usable insight.

Problems CB Intelligence™ Solves

CB Intelligence™ is built to address common challenges in real estate decision-making, including:

• Short MLS lookbacks that capture only part of a market cycle
• Platforms that show numbers without explaining their implications
• Time spent by agents manually summarizing and interpreting market data
• Inconsistent or subjective explanations across advisors
• Client confusion driven by headlines, narratives, and incomplete context

By combining 30 to 50 years of historical data with professional interpretation, CB Intelligence™ reduces blind spots and helps users make decisions with clearer context and fewer assumptions.

Intended Use

CB Intelligence™ is built for real estate professionals, real estate buyers, and investors who want clearer context before making high-stakes decisions.

The platform is used by agents and advisors to support client conversations with concrete, long-horizon data, especially when buyers or investors are weighing questions around risk, timing, neighborhood stability, and long-term outcomes. Instead of relying solely on recent comps or short MLS lookbacks, CB Intelligence™ provides broader historical perspective to help set expectations and explain tradeoffs clearly.

For buyers and investors, CB Intelligence™ helps answer practical questions that often go unresolved in standard market tools, including how a ZIP code has behaved across past downturns, how long recoveries have taken, how volatile pricing has been over decades, and how different neighborhoods compare when viewed over 30 to 50 years rather than a single cycle.

The product is designed to help users make more informed decisions before committing capital and to help real estate professionals offer advice that is grounded in long-term behavior rather than short-term market noise.

CB Intelligence™ is not intended to predict short-term price movements, replace professional judgment, or provide legal, tax, or investment advice. It is designed to provide context, comparison, and historical perspective so decisions are made with better information and fewer blind spots.
