Privacy
What we collect when you use this site or join our emails, what we do with it, and how to change your mind. Updated November 7, 2026.
What we collect
- Your email address when you sign up for a brief, Hot Buys, Nosy Neighbor or other updates.
- Anything else you choose to give us in a form: your name, phone number, state, county, neighborhood, role (buyer, investor, agent or homeowner), the topics you pick and your message.
- A rough location from your connection, at the city or county level, so the map and market answer open near you. We use it to show the page and don't save it to your profile.
- Basic visit data, such as pages viewed and the site that sent you, so we can see which pages help people.
How we use it
- To send the emails you asked for, for the places and topics you picked.
- To answer your questions and requests. We read every request ourselves.
- To improve the site and decide what to write about next.
We don't sell your personal information.
When we share it
Only when you ask us to. If you ask to be introduced to a local agent or a lender, we send them your name, how to reach you and what you told us, so they can reply. You're free to use any agent or lender you like.
If you're a homeowner asking for help, your request is never added to any list of homes for buyers or investors.
We may also share information when the law requires it.
Services that handle it for us

Each of these services has its own privacy policy.
Your choices
