The Problem With One-Size-Fits-All Property Scores
Most property scores use the same weights for everyone. That doesn't help when your deal-breakers are different.
Most property scores use the same weights for everyone. That doesn't help when your deal-breakers are schools and commute and someone else's are lot size and condition.
Here's what we know: Every home buyer has different priorities. But the tools don't reflect that.
Zillow gives you a Zestimate. Redfin shows you comps. Every app treats your family's biggest financial and emotional decision like a stock pick—optimized for investment value, not for your life.
Custom RAAM takes a different approach.
You set your own priorities across 7 factors—school quality, value for money, lot size & light, home age, condition & systems, community diversity, and commute access. You build your analyzer once (about 2 minutes), then paste any Zillow listing URL and get a personalized score and breakdown in under a minute.
Free to start (no credit card). When you find a place that scores well for you, you can share the report in one click so others see how it works.
Supported markets: Boston MetroWest/North Shore, Denver, Austin, LA, Phoenix, Naples.
If you're seriously comparing homes—worth a try.
