Revaluate

Revaluate is a real estate website that mines data from a wide range of public and private sources and uses the information to produce home history reports, each covering a specific residential address.[3] These reports are intended to help consumers make better-informed housing decisions, analogous to the need that online reviews serve for other products and services.[4] The company is headquartered in New York, NY.

Company

Revaluate launched in September 2014. In the same month, it closed a convertible debt financing round for an undisclosed amount.[5] In its first two months of operation it averaged a week-over-week growth rate of 20%.[6]

Currently Revaluate covers New York City, with plans to expand its product to other cities in the future.[6]

Product

Revaluate cites its volume of housing a lifestyle data,[7] acquired from over 2,000 sources, as its primary competitive advantage. While some of its sources are public records available online, Revaluate also manually extracts information from unstructured documents, in some cases previously available only in hardcopy form.[8]

Each report contains a summary of positive and negative qualities about a specific address, as well as high-level ratings across four key categories: safety, environment, quality of life and expenses.[9][6]

gollark: ```'I [suspect] that we are throwing more and more of our resources, including the cream of our youth, into financial activities remote from the production of goods and services, into activities that generate high private rewards disproportionate to their social productivity. I suspect that the immense power of the computer is being harnessed to this 'paper economy', not to do the same transactions more economically but to balloon the quantity and variety of financial exchanges.'--James Tobin, July 1984```
