SIALIMStatistical Intelligence for America's Local Investment Markets

One metro. Every angle. Once a month.

You pick a metro and we take it apart: forecasts with ranges, how our view changed since last month, the data behind the call, the ZIP codes pulling ahead or falling behind, and our graded track record in that market.

Miami, FL, September 2026: StrengtheningMiami prices are turning up after a flat year.

The track record

We grade our forecasts and Zillow's against the same new data every month, measuring only the one-month move so neither side gets credit or blame for Zillow's revisions to history.

Forecast monthOur median missZillow'sNo-change forecastMetros we called closer
June 20260.095%0.093%0.196%410 of 894

We had the smaller median miss in 1 of 3 graded months. Both engines beat a forecast of zero change in every graded month. The full record, including months we lost, lives on the accuracy ledger.

In Miami, a replay of the last 15 months puts the current model's median next-month miss at 0.032%, better than 96% of metros. In 23 years of Miami data, the top 20% of ZIPs our ranking flagged beat the metro over the next year 80% of the time. In 2022, that fell to 43%, and every issue shows its metro's worst year too.

Subscription

A subscription will cost $19.90 a month and cover one metro, with a new issue emailed to you as a PDF each month.

Questions

Which metros can I choose?
Any of the 894 metros we forecast. Metros with few ZIP codes get a shorter ZIP section, and the issue says so.
What are the subscription terms?
We'll post the full terms when subscriptions open.
Is this investment advice?
No. Every figure is a statistical estimate from public data. The outlook label describes the market; we make no buy or sell recommendations.
When do subscriptions open?
Once enough readers ask for their metro. Join the waiting list and we'll email you when they open. Our public scorecard shows how our forecasts compare with Zillow's in the meantime.
