Perplexity

Run macro and sector analysis automatically

The `get_market_sector_data` tool pulls live real estate metrics like vacancy rates and rent levels directly into your active workspace. Cascade reads this data, spots the trends, and immediately uses `get_macroeconomic_data` to match local market performance against employment and income shifts. You do not have to prompt each step manually. Windsurf chains these queries together, letting you analyze how macro shifts impact specific asset classes using this MCP integration.

Map markets and submarkets with this MCP Server

The `list_cbre_markets` tool lists global real estate markets from the CBRE EA database to establish your geographic baseline. From there, your agent calls `list_submarkets` to break those major regions down into specific neighborhoods. This lets Cascade map out an entire metropolitan area's boundaries and pull current asset classes via `list_asset_sectors`. The entire search tree is built in one run, saving you from manual lookup loops.

Forecast NOI and cap rate trends

The `get_market_cap_rates` tool retrieves cap rates and NOI metrics for any market sector you specify. Your agent uses this financial baseline to feed your valuation models with real, institutional-grade numbers. When you ask for future projections, Cascade triggers `get_market_forecasts` to pull historical and future trends. It writes the projection code directly into your files using these actual CBRE data points.
