Perplexity

Find current property availability.

Use the `property_listings` tool to get a list of properties for sale or rent in any given area. It pulls live data, so you see what's actually available right now. Need to check specific neighborhoods? Just give it an area name and let your agent handle the search.

Analyze market value indices with Zoopla.

The `zed_index` tool retrieves the core average property value for a specific location. It gives you one number that tells you how healthy the local housing market is. You can also run `average_sold_prices` to see exactly what homes have sold for, giving you deeper context than just the index.

Generate deep neighborhood reports.

Want more detail? Run `local_info_graphs` and you get URLs for graphs showing local area statistics—perfect for a presentation. You can also use `property_rich_list` to identify the most expensive and least expensive streets in an area. This lets you build out really detailed neighborhood profiles without leaving Claude Desktop.
