What you learn

Six things the listing won't tell you

Is it really in a flood zone?

The official FEMA map at the exact address โ€” not the listing site's summary. In our Gene Cir sample, the two disagreed, and the answer decides whether flood insurance is mandatory.

Who's registered nearby?

Registered-offender counts for the ZIP from state registry data, plus modeled crime for the ZIP โ€” the question families ask first and listings never answer.

What's the real tax bill?

The seller's bill is often capped by years of ownership. Yours resets. One sample home's bill goes from $2,162/yr to roughly nine times that after the sale.

Is the price honest?

The ask vs. what the street actually sold for โ€” including the home's own history. One sample was relisted the day after it sold, marked up 50%.

What's the true monthly cost?

Taxes after reset, insurance priced for the state and the roof, HOA โ€” the number you'll actually live with, not the teaser payment.

What's about to change?

Rezonings, big road projects, new development near the address โ€” sourced from public records, so the surprise arrives before you buy, not after.

Why buyers run it before the offer

354 Edmor Rd ยท West Palm Beach, FL ยท Score 49

The best comp for this house is this house

It sold for $1,000,000 on Oct 19, 2026 โ€” and was relisted the next day at $1,500,000. Even after a $350,000 cut, the ask sat 15% above its own two-week-old closing price. A buyer with this report negotiates from the closing, not the listing.

Every report ends with homework, not hype

Each full report closes with a before-you-offer checklist built from its own findings โ€” the flood certificate to order, the roof age to demand in writing, the tax estimate to verify with the county โ€” and an offer brief that turns the money findings into moves: how to use each one in the negotiation, the questions to put to the seller, and where the walk-away line sits. And the report keeps working after you buy it: 12 months of HomeWatch on the address is included, re-checking it weekly and emailing you only when something material changes.

After you close

HomeWatch: keep an eye on the home you bought

The report is a snapshot โ€” so every buyer report includes 12 months of HomeWatch on its address: re-checked weekly, and you're emailed only when something material changes. No extra charge, no card; when the included year ends, the watch simply stops. After that year โ€” or for an address you don't have a report on โ€” HomeWatch is $9/mo per watched address. Your watch page names exactly which layers are monitored for your address, and which aren't.

Registry alerts

When the registry count for your ZIP changes, you get the new count with the date it was compiled โ€” and the official registry link to check the exact address.

Development alerts

Where a verified open-data feed covers your address, new permits, rezonings, and land-use cases near your home are caught while they're proposals โ€” not construction.

Flood, crime, listing & tax changes

The official flood map is re-queried at your address point; published crime figures, the home's listing status and price, and its tax bill and assessment are re-checked on the same weekly pass.
