nSkope Q3 Predictive Analytic Report: 300,000-plus correct in Q3 2023 showing families with children are driving inventory

Cherry Hill, N.J. (September 28, 2023) – The nSkope Predictive Analytics Report unveiled today showed that families with children under 24 years old living at home recorded 35.0% of all predicted listings through July. The report reviewed nSkope’s January-April 2023 listings predictions and found 301,314 properties already converted to actual listings through the end of July.

The nSkope Predictive Analytics Report reviewed 360 MSAs around the nation. The nSkope platform utilizes proprietary algorithms enhanced by artificial intelligence to analyze over 300 data points that lead to listing predictions. Each prediction includes a 360-degree profile of the home and its residents. nSkope was created by TKInteractive , a software development company with more than 20 years of real estate experience,

“Those with children are driving listing inventory today followed by empty nesters and singles,” said Tom Gamble, co-founder and CEO of TKI. “Real estate has returned to a lifestyle-driven market. Out of all the predictions nSkope made from January to April for properties expected to list, we have already been correct more than 300,000 times with plenty of runway too far exceed that number. And by studying the various profiles, we can see who is driving listing inventory. Those who seemingly want more-or-less space, access to better schools along with job or relationship-driven moves are driving listing inventory.

“While there are surveys and reports that show the rational people have for potential moves, the arrival of predictive analytics lets brokerages, teams and agents know exactly who might be considering a move. This goes far beyond mining social media for clues. Instead, those with effective marketing systems can devote significant time and resources to reaching the right audiences and converting them to clients.”
