Real Estate Analytics
As a Real Estate Economist for the private consulting firm, CoStar Portfolio Strategy (formerly Property and Portfolio Research). I utilized analytics to assess the top 54 markets in the country for investment potential on behalf of our clients. Driven by CoStar data, coupled with proprietary forecasting algorithms and third-party data sources, our investment recommendations supported billions of dollars in real estate transactions annually. Below are a few samples of individual research questions I investigated.
