Briarwood Index · Pilot market

The benchmark layer for property intelligence.

The Briarwood Property Index turns local public sales and listings into a transparent, market-by-market read on liquidity, scarcity, and affordability stress. Not a black-box estimate — a living baseline you can challenge. Monmouth County is the first proof market, not the boundary.

Live from the published town baselines. The full per-town read, with methodology and history, lives at the research index · latest release 2026-07-11.

Each town is scored from its own committed records: sales records run through dates between 2026-05-01 and 2026-05-29, and listing counts are as of 2026-05-29. Those dates differ slightly by town, so cross-town comparisons are close to — but not perfectly — contemporaneous.

Scores are 0–100 public reads (higher = more liquid / scarcer / more affordability stress), not prices or recommendations. Property-level detail stays in Scout.

Why it matters

The index makes market intelligence portable.

  1. 01

    Closed sales are grouped by town, segment, and a one-year window from public records.

  2. 02

    Each town is scored into three reads — liquidity, scarcity, and affordability stress — normalized 0–100 so towns are comparable.

  3. 03

    Every score carries its own sold-comp and active-listing vintage, so the reader can see exactly what data stands behind it.

  4. 04

    An index that can't be computed from committed data publishes as an explicit gap — never a zero, never a stale value.
