New POST Endpoints for Market Data Pulls at Scale

The Market Metrics category introduces five new POST endpoints:

  • All Cash (/v1/market_metrics/all_cash): Gets monthly counts of all cash transactions and their percentage share of total sales, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • Housing Event Counts (/v1/market_metrics/housing_event_counts): Gets monthly counts of housing events, including sales, new for sale listings, and new rental listings, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • Housing Event Prices (/v1/market_metrics/housing_event_prices): Gets monthly statistics on prices for housing events, including sales, new for sale listings, and new rental listings, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • Housing Event Property Attributes (/v1/market_metrics/housing_event_property_attributes): Gets monthly statistics on the physical attributes of properties involved in housing events, including sales, new for sale listings, and new rental listings, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • Housing Stock (/v1/market_metrics/housing_stock): Gets housing stock for specified parcl_ids. Housing stock represents the total number of properties, broken out by single family homes, townhouses, and condos.

The For Sale Market Metrics category adds three new POST endpoints:

  • For Sale Inventory: Gets the weekly updated current count of total inventory listed on market for sale, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • For Sale Inventory Price Changes: Gets weekly updated metrics on the price behavior of current for sale inventory, based on specified parcl_ids.
  • New Listings Rolling Counts: Gets weekly updated rolling counts of newly listed for sale properties, segmented into 7, 30, 60, and 90 day periods ending on a specified date, based on given parcl_ids.

These POST endpoints allow for data retrieval across up to 1000 parcl_ids in a single request, enabling efficient bulk data collection for multiple markets simultaneously.
