At $600K, the numbers only really work if you can differentiate with design, amenities, or targeting longer stays.

I can tell by this if it's the specific location or design/layout or condition that's driving demand.I can then take what I learn through that reconnaissance and pair it with the data sets available online to form a more informed view of the neighborhood’s trajectory.

Two categories that are quietly driving some of the strongest demand today are cold storage and power-ready industrial facilities.Cold storage is being driven by grocery delivery, food distribution, and pharmaceuticals.

Hidden inflation is the devaluation of the USD versus foreign currencies 10% in 2025 which inflates our purchasing costs items from overseas.Fuel costs is going down, so that is a great thing across the board.MFH and Data Centers are really strong here with a lot of growth.  

These are not trend-driven industries.

If I can find a source that has accurate phone data for this area, that would be ideal.

For STRs, location really is everything, and the best way to analyze what works is to look at actual performance data in similar properties, not just asking rents or hype—focus on nightly rates, seasonality, occupancy, local regulations, and competition density, then back into conservative numbers to see if it still works.

Stronger Appreciation Potential:Market appreciation for SFHs is largely driven by owner-occupant demand.

Less supply paired with improving affordability is typically how momentum quietly starts rebuilding.At the same time, AI-driven data center growth is projected to support up to 1.3 million U.S. jobs by 2032.
