Know what the house needs
before you walk in.
BuyerHomeIntel reads a listing's photographs for visible condition, checks the town's own records, prices the work at Fairfield County rates, and puts the result next to comparable sales and a real monthly carrying cost. Your client opens one page and sees the house beyond the listing.

Watch it work
Condition
It catches a two-tier renovation
The listing leads with the renovated kitchen and says nothing about the other baths. The photographs say the secondary baths and powder room are untouched since 1968. The analysis finds the gap and prices it.

Diligence
It prices an ageing pool
A 1990s gunite pool, an oil tank, a well and a septic field — each surfaced in the right place: a repair estimate where the work is visible, a diligence question where condition can't be known from the listing.

Price
It explains a $54/sf discount
Asking $400/sf against a $454 sold median. Striking architecture, entirely original inside — the analysis says which, and what closing that gap costs.

What every property gets
Condition, from the photographs
Kitchen and bath vintage, roofline, windows, grounds, visible wear — with abstention when the gallery is too thin to judge.
Projects, priced locally
Each observation becomes a scoped project with a cost range, a duration and a priority.
Comparables and offer context
Sold comparables set the anchor; condition and required work help frame an opening range, target and walk-away for discussion with the buyer's agent.
The real monthly cost
Mortgage, the actual tax bill, insurance, maintenance, heat by fuel type and the commute.
What an automated valuation can't tell you
Automated valuation models are good at what they measure: size, beds, and what similar homes sold for. What they don't give a buyer is a room-by-room read of visible condition — their inputs are structured facts and comparable sales, not the photographs. That gap is most of the distance between an estimate and a decision, and it is where a buyer's money actually goes.
Condition, room by room
photographsA model sees 4,050 sf and a sold median. It cannot see that this kitchen was renovated in 2018 while the secondary baths are original to 1968 — one costs nothing to bring current, the others $55,000–$75,000.
What the square footage actually is
town recordsThe listing claims 4,050 sf. The town measures 3,600 sf. Valuations built on the larger number are built on sand.
The things nobody photographs
public registers8,400 vehicles a day measured within 130m of a house on a quiet-looking street — plus septic, private well and an ageing oil tank.
What it costs to carry

The listing said. The analysis found.
Listing copy is written to sell, and it is usually accurate — the gap is rarely a lie, it is everything left unsaid. The illustrative Fairfield listing below leads with its renovated kitchen and never mentions the other bathrooms. Every word of it is true. Beside it: what the analysis added.
The listing
“Classic four-bedroom colonial on two level, park-like acres in a sought-after residential pocket of Fairfield. Renovated kitchen with quartz island and premium appliances opens to a sun-filled family room. Four bedrooms up including a primary suite. Hardwood floors, central air, natural gas heat, city water and sewer. Finished lower level adds flexible space. Mature plantings and stone walls frame the property.”
What the analysis added
- "4,050 sf"→ Town measures 3,600 sf — a 450 sf gap, flagged for the buyer to verify
- "Renovated kitchen with quartz island… primary suite"→ True — and the photographs also show a secondary bath, guest bath and powder room original to 1968, which the listing doesn't mention. Bringing them current: $55,000–$75,000, shown separately from the offer because they work
- "Sought-after residential pocket"→ Road frontage classified, traffic measured, soils checked. On the Wilton property the same checks found 8,400 vehicles a day within earshot of a listing that says "privately sited"
- Asking $1,875,000→ 0.94× the sold-comp median across 12 sales — with an opening offer, a target and a walk-away, each itemised
Nine public record systems
Town assessment and permit records, environmental and flood registers, soil survey, DOT traffic counts, transit schedules, recorded sales.
Stays current automatically
Authorized inventory is re-checked on a schedule; price cuts, relists and open houses are recorded as they happen, not looked up later.
Built for a search, not a listing
This demonstration shows three properties. The same pipeline ranks a buyer's whole search area against one another — every property on the same scale.
Where does your client actually need to be?
Commute is the one thing a buyer can never renovate — so it is a scored input, not a footnote. Every property gets a door-to-desk time: the peak-hour drive to the station, parking, a real scheduled train, and the subway and walk at the other end. Change the destination and the whole board re-ranks.

Wilton
score 55$2.10M · 5bd · 4.5ba · 5,000sf · 2.24ac
Well-maintained 1991 colonial (updated c.2005) with fantastic bones, stunning grounds, and pool — but asking 5% over recent comp median on 61 days, with no recent major permits to justify the premium.

Ridgefield
score 47$1.56M · 4bd · 3ba · 3,900sf · 2.41ac
Architecturally distinctive 1979 contemporary on 2.41 wooded acres asking 12% BELOW recent sold comps. The kitchen read dated but functional. Bringing them current is estimated at $32k–$50k; because they work, this is treated as modernization rather than required repair and is not deducted from value.
