The groundbreaking platform will provide unprecedented property analytics for real estate properties nationwide; built for mortgage product originators, loan traders, and institutional real estate investors

Mountain View, Calif. – WEBWIRE



Today, CAPE Analytics, the leader in AI-powered geospatial property intelligence, is pleased to announce the launch of its AI-powered real estate intelligence platform, AIRE, which will provide clients with the ability to fill critical gaps found in traditional data sources. 


Amid contemporary lapses and inaccuracies found in traditional data sources — automated valuation models (AVMs), standard exterior broker price opinions (BPOs), and property condition report (PCRs) —  70% of property issues identified by AIRE are missed by existing human-driven solutions. As a result, real estate decision-makers have consistently been left disadvantaged during underwriting, loan and real estate trades, and mitigation of risk, among other processes.


CAPE’s AIRE platform combines computer vision, aerial imagery, granular geospatial data, and proprietary data sources to extract highly accurate, critical information about properties and their surroundings, focusing on characteristics that influence property value and marketability. 


Real estate stakeholders leveraging AIRE can obtain instant, automatically generated reports for properties nationwide that disclose objective and current exterior property condition metrics, automated detection of property changes that can affect property value, nearby location factors such as distance to highways and bodies of water, and even the type of view visible from each property— all of which are features that are missed by existing data sets and even human-led exterior inspections.


The CAPE AIRE property intelligence platform includes many features derived from applying computer vision to geospatial imagery…


  • Instant assessments of overall exterior property condition 


  • 30+ highly accurate property characteristics such as property size, presence of pools, solar panels, vegetation, debris, and much more 


  • Location factors such as the property’s distance to a noisy road, railroad, or waterfront  


  • The view from each property, including the field of view and features such as golf course or bodies of water within that view 


  • … and more 

By relying on proprietary data and AI technology, CAPE avoids some of the common issues other tech-driven appraisal tools have run into. When Zillow launched its Offers iBuyer platform, it hit a roadblock in the wake of the pandemic. Many valuation and appraisal tools, like those used by Zillow for its Offers business, have trouble assessing atypical homes—or even typical homes in atypical locations—which can be exacerbated when real estate markets become more volatile. These same issues extend to appraisers and even consumers looking to buy or sell homes as it is challenging for humans to subjectively determine the impact of various positive and negative factors on a home’s value. Many issues with the valuation and appraisal process reflect a lack of data and have been impacted by human bias and subjectivity. As desktop and hybrid appraisals increasingly become the norm, the most accurate and complete data sources must be brought to bear in order to maintain accurate valuation assessments. CAPE is the first to offer such a holistic dataset with the launch of its AIRE platform. 


These capabilities allow such stakeholders to increase efficiency by avoiding time-consuming research, improve decisions around bids, buys and capex needs for loan tapes, mortgage originations such as HELOCs, and property portfolios. All while avoiding issues that affect valuation accuracy and bias with unique insights not available through alternative sources. 


“With AIRE, we’re enabling our clients to access objective, structured data for property and location characteristics, condition metrics, and marketability that have a demonstrated impact on value,” said Raj Dosaj, Head of Real Estate for CAPE Analytics. “AIRE’s accurate, up-to-date data is instantly available for properties across the United States.” 


The announcement comes amidst a breakthrough year for the company, which, in addition to its selection as a Tech100 Real Estate Company by HousingWire, has secured numerous partnerships and greatly expanded its capabilities for stakeholders across the real estate and mortgage landscape.
