There is an abundance of information that has transformed how decisions are made within the property ecosystem. Yet, while professionals aren\u2019t struggling to find data, a new challenge is emerging: understanding what it all means.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When looking at\u00a0information such as,\u00a0title records (ownership, legal description, etc.), zoning information, sales history, aerial images and market trends, each data point is useful individually. When put together, they provide context. And that context is what makes all the difference. In today\u2019s world, data answers questions, while context explains why those answers matter.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=\u00a0\u00bbThe next phase of property intelligence\u00a0\u00bb font_container=\u00a0\u00bbtag:h4|text_align:left|color:%234c7a15″ google_fonts=\u00a0\u00bbfont_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb text_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]In the past, researching a property meant gathering information manually from multiple disconnected sources. Now, technology and innovation have centralized that information, making it easier to find in one place.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The next phase of property intelligence is to connect that information in meaningful ways and help professionals understand the relationships between different data points to uncover insights unique to them.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For example, instead of asking only what happened on this property, it\u2019s also important to understand what constraints or opportunities exist, and what factors might affect future decisions. These are some of the types of questions that context helps answer.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text=\u00a0\u00bbWhy context is crucial\u00a0\u00bb font_container=\u00a0\u00bbtag:h4|text_align:left|color:%234c7a15″ google_fonts=\u00a0\u00bbfont_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:400%20regular%3A400%3Anormal\u00a0\u00bb css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb][vc_column_text css=\u00a0\u00bb\u00a0\u00bb text_direction=\u00a0\u00bbdefault\u00a0\u00bb]Context is simply the background or surrounding circumstances that help explain and give meaning to something. When making a property-related decision, that decision can be influenced by a variety of factors, such as market conditions, ownership history, development potential, neighbourhood changes, historical property activity and more.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Without context, all of that information can be interpreted in different ways. Two people can look at a property and come to very different conclusions. With context, professionals can identify risks unique to their situation, they can validate assumptions, spot opportunities and move forward with greater confidence.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For professionals in the builder and developer industry, context helps determine:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text]
