Parcel Pulse started with one question from a Tallahassee house-hacker: which homes in my market are most likely to sell soon, and what are they worth as a deal?
The answer was already in public records. Every Florida county files its full property-tax roll with the Department of Revenue: who owns each home, where they get their mail, which exemptions they claim, how long the assessment cap has been running, and every recent sale. Parcel Pulse reads those rolls for 16 markets every week, scores each home for signs the owner may sell, and estimates the deal from recent sales in the same neighborhood.
Points for estate ownership and probate transfers, absentee and out-of-state owners, long ownership (from the gap between assessed and market value), dated houses with no major update on record, and small landlords. Corporate owners and large portfolios lose points. Leads are tiered A, B and C.
As-is value uses the median price per square foot of recent arm's-length sales in the same neighborhood; after-repair value uses the 80th percentile, capped against the county's market value. Rehab is sized by the home's age and condition, and the max offer is 70% of ARV minus rehab. They're screening numbers to decide which leads to look at first.
