Lystos introduces Zone Profile and AVM: new tools for real estate decision making

Introduction

In today's fast-paced real estate market, professionals need to rely on real-time data to make quick, forward-looking decisions. Developers, investment funds, asset managers and consulting firms face a growing volume of information and pressure to identify opportunities ahead of the competition. Digitalization and Big Data have become indispensable allies: they make it possible to analyze trends, anticipate market developments and manage real estate portfolios with precision. In this context, Lystos is launching three new innovative solutions that promise to revolutionize professional real estate analysis and management: Zone Profile, AVM and Room Analysis. These inspirational and benefit-oriented tools are designed to boost analytical capabilities, improve decision making and optimize portfolio management in the real estate industry.

Zone Profile: understanding each microzone with real data

Zone Profile is an interactive, map-based tool that allows you to visualize the behavior of microzones in real time. Instead of relying on static spreadsheets or subjective estimates, professionals can now explore a dynamic map and understand in detail what is happening in each neighborhood, district or even more specific areas. The platform intuitively displays key metrics for each area, including supply, demand, economic effort and demographics, all continuously updated.

An example of the data from rental supply and demand in a microzone, as visualized with Zone Profile. The tool reveals how many properties enter the market (supply) and how many are withdrawn or rented (demand) month by month, providing insight into the dynamics of the area.

Traditionally, deciding where to invest or develop a project involved collecting scattered, often outdated data and dumping it all into Excel to make rough estimates. This manual process is not only time-consuming, but can also miss important patterns. Zone Profile completely changes this paradigm: it is now possible to spot real trends and opportunities with just a few clicks. For example, a developer can identify emerging neighborhoods where housing demand outstrips supply, or an investment fund can find profitable micro-zones that would previously have remained hidden among general market averages. All of this is backed by objective and recent data, bringing a new level of confidence to decisions.

What information does Zone Profile offer?

Through this tool, users can drill down into multiple dimensions of each zone to make better informed decisions:

Supply vs. local demand: know how many properties are published in the area and how many are sold or rented in a given period. This indicator shows the speed of the market in the area (i.e., if properties are absorbed quickly, denoting high demand).
Buyer/tenant economic effort: includes the affordability of housing in that micro-area, measuring the financial effort required (e.g., the ratio of housing prices to local income level). Areas with disproportionate financial effort may indicate difficulty of access and potential for correction, while more affordable areas may attract more applicants.
Demographic profile: analyze the composition of the population in the area - population data, average age, socioeconomic status, tenure rate (owners vs. renters), etc. This contextual information helps to understand what type of housing or project would best fit the reality of that local market.

With Zone Profile, all this data is presented in a unified and graphical way. Instead of wasting time cross-referencing different sources, the professional has a single panel to "take the pulse" of any location. For example, a real estate consultant can prepare a neighborhood analysis for his client in minutes, backing up his recommendations with facts: "this area shows high unsatisfied demand and a growing young population, which makes it ideal for a new residential development". The ability to understand the territory at a micro level allows not only to react to current events, but also to anticipate trends. In short, Zone Profile provides clarity and depth of analysis where previously there was guesswork, helping to detect real opportunities and minimize risks in the investment process.

AVM: automated mass appraisal to streamline your operations

In parallel to the granular understanding of the market offered by Zone Profile, Lystos introduces AVM (Automated Valuation Model), an automated valuation model that takes efficiency and accuracy in valuations to another level. What is AVM? It is a tool capable of automatically valuing thousands of real estate assets in seconds, with very high accuracy. Designed for sale-purchase, rental or portfolio review operations, AVM provides funds, asset managers and consulting firms with a high-speed "virtual appraiser", integrated with real market data.

Imagine uploading an entire portfolio of properties and instantly getting the estimated market value of each one. That is exactly what AVM enables. Its main benefits can be summarized as: speed, scalability, consistency and continuous updating. Here are some of the key features of AVM and how they add value to the real estate process:

Massive valuation in seconds: forget about valuing property by property manually. With AVM it is possible to load a file with tens, hundreds or even more than 15,000 assets at a time, and obtain a simultaneous valuation of all of them. This massive processing capability greatly speeds up tasks that used to take days or weeks of work, especially in large portfolio analysis or portfolio due diligence.
Double estimation: buy and rent: the model provides both the sale market value and the estimated rental value of each property. Having both perspectives is vital for investors and managers: it makes it easy to calculate gross profitability (e.g. by comparing the estimated annual rent with the acquisition price) and to decide whether an asset is more attractive to buy and rent, or to sell in the short term.
Intelligent review with Cadastre: when uploading properties by cadastral reference or coordinates, the tool contrasts the information provided with the official Cadastre database. If it detects discrepancies in, for example, surface area or year of construction, it automatically suggests corrections. This ensures that valuations are made with reliable data and eliminates common data entry errors. In short, integration with Cadastre brings additional quality control to your mass appraisals.
Value change alerts: the real estate market is dynamic, and estimated asset values can change over time. AVM allows you to set up intelligent alerts to monitor the evolution of each asset. If the model detects, for example, that the value of a property has risen or fallen beyond a defined threshold (e.g. ±5%), it will notify the user. In this way, an asset manager will always know when the value of an asset in his portfolio changes significantly and will be able to react (revalue collateral, adjust rental prices, consider a sale, etc.).
Duplicate detection and quality control: handling large volumes of data carries the risk of duplicating records or including erroneous properties. AVM has artificial intelligence mechanisms to identify duplicates in the bulk upload (for example, if the same cadastral reference appears twice) and to filter outliers. This ensures that the portfolio analysis is consistent and reliable, without bias due to repeated or out-of-range data.

All these functionalities converge in a fundamental benefit: streamlining tasks that previously consumed enormous manual resources and improving accuracy in real estate valuation. A process that would normally require entire teams of analysts working for several days (compiling comparables, calculating indicators, reviewing documentation) is now solved in a matter of minutes with AVM. In addition, the standardization of the model reduces subjective variability: each asset is valued under the same criteria and updated market data, achieving consistency in the results. According to Lystos, its algorithm offers greater than 95% accuracy in estimates, thanks to continuous adjustment with recent real and comparable data.

Practical use of AVM in portfolio decisions and management

The introduction of AVM opens up multiple possibilities for different professional profiles:

Quick analysis of new deals: Developers and investors can upload the assets of an opportunity (e.g. a package of apartments for sale, or an entire building) and immediately obtain estimated values and yields. This allows them to assess whether the price offered is attractive and how it compares to the rental income potential. Purchasing decisions that once could take days are now based in minutes, with the confidence of having objective data backing up the offer or negotiation.
Audit and management of current portfolios: Asset managers and large funds can submit their existing portfolios to an "X-ray" with AVM on a regular basis. With a single process they get an up-to-date valuation of their entire portfolio, detect which assets have appreciated or depreciated in value and receive alerts of relevant changes. This greatly speeds up the task of reporting to investors or committees, as an up-to-date portfolio value is always available. It also makes it easier to identify assets that are not performing as expected, supporting rotation decisions (selling some assets to buy other more promising ones).
Support for consulting and banking in massive studies: Consulting companies or financial institutions, when doing market studies or valuing mortgage guarantees in bulk, can benefit from AVM to process thousands of properties in a standardized way. The combination of review with Cadastre and the elimination of duplicates ensures that even when working with huge databases, the result is clean and robust. This translates into greater reliability of the reports delivered and saves time that teams can devote to qualitative analysis or strategy, rather than the mechanical work of compiling data.

In short, AVM acts as a real estate workflow accelerator: tasks that were once bottlenecks are now integrated into a single platform, automated and enriched by real data. And it does so while keeping the user in control, as it is always possible to adjust parameters, filter by custom tags (by zone, asset type, strategy, etc.) to compare results, and export the necessary information for presentations or further analysis. The result is greater speed, greater accuracy and better decision making at every stage of the real estate cycle.

Room Analysis: a new dimension of the rental market

The rental market has evolved, and more and more investors, developers and managers are analyzing the performance of individual rooms within shared housing. To address this need, Lystos now incorporates room rental data directly into Explora and the market analysis modules, providing a more granular and accurate view of this growing segment.

With this new functionality, users can:

Analyze the room market in detail, visualizing how many active listings exist in each area, their average prices, surface area and characteristics.
Identify the agencies and real estate agencies that manage these listings, to understand who dominates the local market or where there is room to capture new opportunities.
Compare prices by size, location or room type, detecting imbalances or above-average returns.
See if the prices include expenses or not, a key factor to correctly evaluate the accessibility and positioning of the product.
Value rooms automatically, using the same real and comparable data approach that characterizes Lystos tools.

Thanks to this addition, the user can have a complete view of the rental market, from entire homes to individual rooms, detecting new demand niches and adjusting their pricing or development strategies.

The Room Analysis thus complements the Zone Profile and the AVM, offering a comprehensive perspective of the entire residential spectrum, from the macro-zone to the smallest asset.
