About Our Data

All analysis, rankings, ratings, and throughout this site are generated by us here at Icon Real Estate. All raw data comes from the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR, HRIS) – but you're not viewing raw data. We track, categorize, analyze, and rank everything from zip codes to school zones based on geographic (boundary) data that is either (a) provided by local jurisdictions, (b) purchased from third-party sources, or (c) hand-drawn by our team.

Builder statistics rely heavily on our local knowledge and familiarity with the marketing (listing) practices of major local builders. It's not an exact science, but we're pretty accurate in assigning listings to the correct builder. We leverage a bit of AI in that process as well.

It's all good stuff, and we're pretty confident you'll find it useful. But just FYI - no warranties or guarantees. Let us know if you're looking for something you don't see here.
