Terratrend™, Quantarium’s Market Velocity Home Value Index
Our Home Value Index (HVI) is based on the proprietary Quantarium Valuation Model (QVM) value estimates for more than 100 million residential U.S. homes. QVM has been tested extensively in the last 5 years by some of the top 3rd party AVM testing agencies in the U.S. and has been consistently ranked at the top for both Accuracy and Hit Rate performance metrics. QVM re-computes the estimated values for the entire national footprint on a weekly basis, along with HVIs at various geography levels – from State, County, CBSA down to Zip Code. That allows Quantarium’s Market Velocity HVIs to provide the most current market insights, being weeks faster than most other housing indices in the U.S.
The report for a given month is usually available on the second Wednesday of the following month, for example HVI insights for the month of December 2022 were made available on Wednesday, January 11.
