Dark bars count dated records in the last 30 days; grey bars, standing lists. A "+" means the count reached the pull limit, so there are at least that many. Counts are of records matching Deal Radar's filters (open, residential, recent), not every record in the dataset.

What each signal means

Tax-delinquent properties

Property taxes are unpaid. Often an inherited, vacant or neglected property, or an owner under strain.

Usually from: County treasurer delinquency lists. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 24, halving every 365 days.

Out-of-state owners

The owner lives in another state, which makes the property harder to manage.

Usually from: Assessor: owner mails out of state. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 9, doesn't fade.

Long-time owners

Owned for decades. Lots of equity, and often a life change coming.

Usually from: Last sale date on the deed. Weight in Deal Radar's score: 6, doesn't fade.

What isn't here

  • Owner names, mailing addresses and phone numbers. Public pages show counts only; phones never come from these feeds.
  • Probate and divorce filings. They sit with the courts and several states restrict them; inside Parcel they come in by upload.
  • Records a city or county doesn't publish as open data. If yours has a feed we've missed, tell us and we'll check it.

Questions

From 8 public open-data portals run by the cities, counties or state, queried directly with the same filters Deal Radar uses (open, residential, recent records). Each feed's source is linked on this page.

They are pulled again every day. The portals themselves update on their own schedules, from daily to quarterly, noted for each feed.
