CLAIRTON vs Wider Market
How CLAIRTON compares on the metrics that matter to investors. Headline price, DOM, cap (at sale), ARV, and rent use the trailing 12-month sold cohort because most areas have only a handful of homes for sale at any moment. Projected flip ROI uses active listings at list price (most closings are not flips). Current inventory counts and U.S. Census demographics are listed separately. Sheriff sale starting bids are listed separately and are not mixed into market price baselines.

12-Month Market Activity: Closed sales in the trailing 365 days. Median sold price, $/sqft, days on market, modeled cap rate at recorded sale price, ARV, and rent use this cohort. Flip ROI is not shown here: most closings are not fix-and-flips. Pittsburgh and Allegheny County use the same window.
Cap rate (sold cohort): Unlevered cap at each sale's Final Price with estimated rent, 30% expense-ratio NOI, and modeled buying costs - not at MAO.
Projected flip ROI (active): From current MLS listings at list price (median when available). Not realized profit on past sales.
Current Inventory: Active listing counts, median ask, projected flip ROI at list, and sheriff sale counts as of the freshness date above.
Demographics: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) 2024 5-year estimate, aggregated across census tracts.
