They have a direct feed from 98% of the 3150 or so counties in the US.What is great about this data is that it’s usually super fresh (they tell you how old it is before you download it) and it’s in the same format for every county so it takes the mystery/difficulty out of scrubbing the data once you download it.

That's the mystery I am trying to solve and how to screen smaller lenders to identify those who will underwrite at those values instead of at Fannie/Freddie guidelines or with even more conservative overlays.

AND the loan officer I was working with mysteriously disappeared or won't return my calls? 

Wow, I lived in the Bay Area around 1990 when East Palo Alto was the murder capital of the USA. 

You can monitor them online, or even better do some mystery shopping.

As others mentioned it can be quite hard to generalize these areas, for instance I am in Peachtree Corners.Within my zip code we have quite a few houses worth $3-4 million, hundreds of houses over $600k, apartment complexes that average a murder a month, extended stays with the same issue and houses under $150k.As far as Atlanta goes, south of 20 vs north of 20 is probably the best "dividing" line I have ever seen...but it still doesn't account for a lot of crossover.

@Mindy Jensen I like puzzles that makes you think like chess, soduko, mystery video games.

I never saw people murdered.

Also don't forget about surviving R Kelley and making a murderer.

The foreign-owned hotels and resorts screamed bloody murder, but that $50-$100 a night for a bedroom while children doubled up or slept on the couch in the living room went a long way to keeping a hell of a lot of people in their condos.
