Introducing Zephyr Insights: Real Market Data for Serious Investors

If you've ever had to piece together market conditions from a dozen different sources — pulling median prices here, days on market there, trying to figure out whether a market is heating up or cooling off — this one's for you.

Zephyr Insights is live. It's a dedicated market analytics view built directly on top of our MLS data, covering Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and Central Texas. Drill down to any zip code, adjust the time range, and see exactly what the market is doing — no guesswork, no stale data.

Here's what you'll find inside.

Know What Prices Are Actually Doing

Median Sale Price shows you what properties are actually closing at — not list price, not estimates — with a trend signal so you know whether prices are rising, falling, or holding. When you see "Falling -1.3% vs prior period," that's your cue that sellers are under pressure and your offers should reflect it.

Median $/SQFT is the one we'd argue matters more. It normalizes price across different property sizes so you can compare submarkets and deals on equal footing. A market that looks stable on headline price might be quietly compressing on a per-sqft basis — this number catches that.

Read the Demand Signals

Median Days on Market tells you how long properties are sitting before they go under contract. We translate it for you: Fast Market, Normal, or Slow Market. When days on market are rising fast, buyers have leverage — and you should use it.

Absorption Rate is the percentage of active listings that sold in a given period. High absorption means inventory is moving. Low absorption means it's piling up. Paired with Days on Market, you get a clear read on whether competition is real or manufactured.

List-to-Sale Ratio cuts through the noise on pricing strategy. Are sellers getting full ask? Taking haircuts? Selling over list? We badge it: Above Ask, Near Ask, Below Ask. Before you decide how aggressive to be on an offer, this is the number to check.

Understand Supply

Active Listings is the raw count of what's on the market right now.

Months of Supply puts that number in context — it tells you how long it would take to sell all active inventory at the current pace. Under 3 months is a seller's market. Above 6 is a buyer's market. We show you which one you're in and whether it's shifting.

Active Listing Age looks at the listings that haven't sold yet — specifically, how long they've been sitting. Fresh Inventory means new supply is coming in. Stale Inventory means stuff is lingering. This is a good early warning signal before Months of Supply catches up.

Sold Volume rounds it out — how many properties actually closed in your selected time period. The historical chart makes it easy to see seasonality patterns and whether transaction volume is picking up or pulling back.

Zip-Level Detail

Every metric is available at the city level and the zip code level. If you're working a specific neighborhood or comparing two submarkets, click into any zip on the map and get the full picture there.

We're Still Building

The Insights pages are actively being developed — there's more coming. If there's a metric you rely on that you don't see here, tell us. We're building this for how you actually work, and that means we want to know what's missing.
