Introduction
Sudden surges in buyer activity—driven by a 6.1% one-month jump in signed contracts and a raw 34% spike in pending sales—can upend property valuations and fuel disputes. Our expert’s proven approach to dissecting these market dynamics, from inventory shifts to interest-rate impacts, equips legal teams with clear, defensible opinions that streamline discovery and reduce expert-witness fees.
Expertise in Buyer Buildup Analysis
-
Pending-Sales Trend Analysis: Translating the March 2025 6.1% MoM rise in contracts (largest since December 2023) into precise valuation adjustments, our analysis uncovers hidden value shifts before closing dates.
-
Inventory & Pricing Diagnostics: With for-sale inventory up 8.1% MoM and nearly 20% YoY, we benchmark comparable-sales across regions—e.g., a 10% pending-sales surge in the South versus a 0.5% dip in the Northeast—to refine opinion ranges.
-
Interest-Rate Impact Modeling: Quantifying the 20–30-basis-point drop to a 6.65% average mortgage rate, our modeling of buyer purchasing-power changes materially informs market-value and damages calculations.
Real-World Impact

Time Savings: Early delivery of focused preliminary reports—grounded in the latest pending-sales and rate data—can cut expert-discovery timelines by weeks.
