get_market_healthLABSCO SUMMARY
A first pass on whether a market deserves a closer look.
The free 50 metros cover most of the places people ask about, and a health score next to yield and appreciation is enough to rank candidates in a conversation. Screening all 895 or putting two cities side by side is where the key becomes necessary.
What it is
A hosted Streamable HTTP server carrying US residential real-estate market data by metro: prices, appreciation, rental yield, mortgage estimates, migration and an investment health score.
What you get
- An investment health score from 1 to 10 with the key signals behind it (get_market_health)
- Prices, appreciation, rental yield, a mortgage estimate and momentum for a metro (get_market_summary), and with a key also HUD Fair Market Rents, percentile rankings and full migration data
- The available markets, filterable by state (list_markets)
- Two cities compared side by side across 10+ metrics (compare_markets, key required)
- A filter across all 895 metros by price, yield, appreciation and affordability (search_markets, key required)
Requirements
Nothing for the free tier: add the endpoint to your client and you get the top 50 US metros, under a daily request cap counted per IP. All 895 metros, compare_markets and search_markets need an X-API-Key header from the paid Investor plan, which raises the cap and counts it per key instead. It can also be run locally from source over streamable-http.

USE CASES
01
Deciding whether a city is worth researching further
Ask for the health score and the market summary together: the score gives you a one-to-ten read with its signals, and the summary puts prices, appreciation, yield and a mortgage estimate underneath it.
02
Choosing between two places you already like
Run them side by side across the ten-plus metrics rather than reading two summaries and holding the difference in your head. This is one of the tools behind the key.
03
Finding markets that fit a budget and a yield target
Filter all 895 metros by price, yield, appreciation and affordability at once, which turns the question from checking cities you thought of into finding the ones you did not.
04
Seeing what is covered in a state
List the markets for a state before anything else, so you know whether the metro you care about is in the free 50 or behind the key.
