New launch! When HousingWire acquired Altos Research in 2022, several elements stood out. One of the most valuable? A proprietary dataset that tracks active listings for 99% of the U.S. housing market—over 110 million properties, updated weekly. It’s a unique, real-time view into housing supply that powers a wide range of insights and applications. Altos has long been known for its SaaS platform that helps agents, LOs, and title pros win more deals with powerful market reports and lead-nurture tools. But the best-kept secret? The data licensing business. That secret ends today. Introducing HousingWire Data. HousingWire Data helps industry leaders – investors, operators, hedge funds, valuation firms, homebuilders, proptechs, and lenders – make faster, smarter decisions. We’re relaunching the licensing business as HousingWire Data to better serve clients with deep insights into active inventory, ZIP code-level trends, pending sales, and rental markets. This launch also brings focus to each respective product line. Now Altos is entirely focused on the SaaS business and serving our users, and HousingWire Data is entirely focused on licensing and client success. I see this as a win-win-win. Amanda Luzsicza and Sonal Mandhyan are leading the charge – helping clients tap into this powerful dataset to drive innovation.
