Tool that flags parcels with subdivision/ADU upside (MA) — feedback wanted
Built a tool I want feedback on.
I'm a real estate agent in MA/NH and got tired of the same workflow every time I wanted to know if a parcel had real upside — pull up the zoning map, find the district, hunt down the town's bylaw PDF, find the minimum lot size, do the math. Hours per property.
So I built a Zoning Opportunity Platform. It scores parcels by lot size vs. the zoning minimum for its district. Green = sitting well above the minimum, meaning subdivision, ADU, or expansion potential that usually gets missed because people only look at raw lot size.
A 1-acre parcel in a 1-acre district is maxed out. A 1-acre parcel in a 10k sqft minimum district is a totally different conversation. The Zoning Opportunity Score shows that at a glance.
Currently select towns in MA only. Working on adding conservation land, deed restrictions, setbacks, and frontage next.
Looking for honest feedback from investors, flippers, and land folks — what's missing, what's confusing, what would make you actually use it. Link in comments if there's interest.
