Federal data.
Forensic rigour.

Why Sunbelt Signal
Built on federal data.
Checked like it matters.
Most real estate data products are built on broker listing feeds — private data that reflects what agents choose to publish. Sunbelt Signal uses only US federal and Florida state government data: the same primary sources used by federal housing regulators, institutional lenders, and the agencies that set US housing policy.
US federal and Florida state data only
Every number comes from the Florida Department of Revenue, US Census Bureau, the Federal Housing Finance Agency House Price Index, the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Census Building Permits. The same sources that Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and federal housing agencies use to make policy decisions.

Produced by a senior government statistician
Sunbelt Signal is built by someone who spent nearly 20 years producing national statistics for the UK government — across criminal justice, education, environmental regulation, and public safety. That work was published under his name, scrutinised by Parliament, and used to set national policy. That same standard of accountability applies here.

Every figure is independently checked
Every quarterly release goes through a three-tier quality check: an automated pipeline test, an independent recalculation, and a manual cross-check against the original source document. Nothing is published until it clears all three. The checks are formally documented and version-controlled.

A transparent scoring system with 11 components
The Overall Investment Opportunity Score (OIOS) gives each Florida county a score out of 10, built from 11 individually calculated components: price momentum, supply pressure, migration trends, yield signals, cash buyer share, and more. Every component is published alongside the overall score. Nothing is hidden.
11 components · out of 10 · fully auditable
Built for Florida's specific data structure
Florida property data has county-level complexities — sale qualification codes, assessment roll dating, homestead exemption filters — that national models consistently get wrong. Sunbelt Signal is built from the ground up around how Florida's Department of Revenue actually structures its data.

Quarterly updates — published when they're ready
The release pipeline is mapped directly to confirmed government data publication dates from BLS, FHFA, Census, and FDOR. Each update goes through a full quality check before it reaches subscribers. You get validated data — not a raw government file pushed the same day it drops.

Sunbelt Signal was not built by a developer who added a statistics layer. It was built by a senior government statistician who spent nearly 20 years producing national statistics across criminal justice, education, environmental regulation, and public safety for the UK government — work published under his name, scrutinised by Parliament, and used by ministers to make national policy decisions.

"When you produce statistics that a government minister uses to answer questions in Parliament, every number has to be traceable, independently verifiable, and defensible under scrutiny. That standard does not change because the subject is Florida real estate."

Most commercial data providers have never worked under that level of accountability. Sunbelt Signal brings the methodology standards of federal statistical production — source traceability, independent quality assurance, documented assumptions, version-controlled releases — to a market where the norm is a dashboard refreshed from a private listing feed.

That is what you are buying: not just data, but confidence that every figure has been produced, checked, and documented to a standard that would survive independent scrutiny.

How the score works
11 components. One score. No black box.
Each Florida county receives a score out of 10 for all 11 components below. The overall OIOS score is a weighted combination of all 11. Every component score is published alongside the overall — so you can see exactly what is driving each county's rating.
CPS
Price Momentum
How quickly median sale prices are moving, adjusted for market size and season
SPS
Supply Pressure
Active listings relative to recent sales — an early indicator of where prices are likely to go next
ISI
Inventory Shift
Whether the number of available homes is tightening or loosening compared to last quarter
FAI
Affordability
Median home price relative to local incomes, benchmarked against the Florida state average
FBS
Migration Inflow
Net population and household growth, drawn from US Census Bureau annual estimates
DMS
Days on Market
How quickly homes are selling, relative to that county's own recent history
BBTS
New Build Pressure
New construction permits relative to sales — shows whether builders are adding to or absorbing buyer demand
BBOS
Cash Buyer Share
The share of sales completed without a mortgage — a proxy for investor and institutional confidence in that market
PRS
Price-to-Rent Signal
Estimated gross yield potential based on assessed values and local rental market benchmarks
MPS
Rate Sensitivity
How exposed the county's buyer pool is to Federal Reserve rate changes, based on its financing mix

Sample investor pack
[ Add your Loom or Vimeo link here ]
A 35-slide county pack covering the overall score, all 11 components, price trend charts, migration data, and full methodology notes. Produced quarterly for each covered county.
Live dashboard walkthrough
[ Add your Loom or Vimeo link here ]
The subscriber dashboard lets you filter by county, metric, and time period. Ask questions in plain English using the built-in AI analyst, and export clean data files directly. Available on Analyst and Portfolio plans.
What the dashboard includes
Download analysis-ready data
Every county's data is available to download as a clean, tidy file — rows and columns, ready to load straight into Python, R, or Excel. No cleaning required. The processing work has already been done for you.
Months of data engineering, included
Producing clean, comparable data across 17 Florida counties requires handling a different data structure in every single county — especially for the NAL/SAL property assessment rolls, where each county publishes in a different format. This is highly complex work that would typically take an experienced analyst months to replicate. As a subscriber, you get the output of that work in every download — at no extra cost.
Ask questions in plain English
The dashboard includes a built-in AI analyst. Type a question — "which county has the strongest migration inflow score this quarter?" or "how has Lee County's price momentum changed over the last year?" — and get a direct answer from the data. No coding or data skills needed.
Plug into your own tools
The download files are structured so they work directly in any analysis environment. If you have your own Python models, portfolio dashboards, or internal reporting — you can feed Sunbelt Signal data straight in. No reformatting, no data wrangling.
Pricing
Simple, flat-rate access.
No brokerage arrangements. No data resale to third parties. No usage-based fees. Your analysis stays yours.
