Perplexity

Analyze historical valuation trends.

The `get_chart` tool generates a URL displaying the Zestimate history for any given property. You can also run `get_region_chart` to see how an entire neighborhood's valuations have trended over time. This lets you build charts showing market volatility, which is way better than guessing based on old listings.

Find comparable sales and deep property details.

Need to compare a listing? Use `get_comps` to fetch recent comparable sales data. For deeper context, `get_deep_comps` provides rich property metrics for both the subject home and the comps. It even lets you run `get_updated_property_details`, grabbing any facts that owners or agents have manually edited into the listing.

Perform detailed searches and market analysis.

Start with basic lookups using `get_search_results` to find a property by address. You can also call `get_deep_search_results`, which gives you rich data beyond the standard search results. For broader planning, check out demographics with `get_demographics` or estimate monthly costs using `get_monthly_payments`.
