# Housing market research
Compare defined markets over comparable periods. Keep market aggregates separate
from individual property valuations and personalized financing decisions.
## Setup
Set `CRAWLORA_API_KEY` to your key from [crawlora.net](https://crawlora.net).
Run the bundled `scripts/crawlora.sh` from this skill directory or by absolute
path. It sends `x-api-key` to `https://api.crawlora.net/api/v1`; keep the key in
the environment. Read [reference/endpoints.md](reference/endpoints.md) for
dataset discovery/history and optional live Redfin context.
## Build a comparable market panel
1. Define geography level, candidate places, property type, period, and decision.
Dataset `region_type` accepts `national`, `metro`, `county`, `city`, or `zip`.
Use `/datasets/housing-markets/facets` and `/search` under the same prefix to
resolve exact regions and `table_id`; names and ZIP codes are not table IDs.
2. Start with `latest=true`, a single region level, and a single property type.
Latest is per series, so compare returned `period_begin` AND `period_end`.
Select a common period if series differ. A monthly observation can summarize
a longer rolling window; do not call every row one month's transactions.
3. Retrieve `/datasets/housing-markets/items/{region_type}/{table_id}` with
`history=true` and the same `property_type` for the stored chronological
series. Keep gaps, window lengths, and revisions visible. Use matched periods
for YoY comparisons; o
