At AcreValue, we're excited to announce the release of a brand-new dataset: the Buildings Dataset! This latest addition to our platform is designed to provide users with critical information about buildings on rural properties across the U.S., helping landowners, developers, realtors, appraisers, and more gain a better understanding of the land they’re dealing with. So, what does this dataset do, and how can it benefit you?
What Is the New Buildings Dataset?
The AcreValue Buildings Dataset gives users access to detailed information on building locations and footprints for properties across the country. This data comes from the Microsoft Buildings dataset, created using aerial imagery and advanced machine learning techniques. From barns and sheds to commercial buildings and houses, this dataset ensures that users have access to a complete picture of the property’s structures. Whether you’re managing land, making an investment decision, or planning a new development, this data will help you make more informed decisions.
Why Is the Buildings Dataset Helpful to AcreValue Users?
AcreValue’s new Buildings Dataset offers clear benefits for a variety of users. Here’s how different types of users can leverage this data:
- Landowners: Whether you’re looking to maintain, develop, or sell your property, knowing exactly where your buildings are and how large they are can help you plan for future projects, manage your land more efficiently, and make informed decisions about expansion or investment.
- Realtors: For real estate professionals, having visibility into the size and location of buildings on a property allows you to create more accurate property listings and better assess a property's marketability. It’s also a great way to provide buyers with all the information they need about existing structures on rural properties.
- Loan Officers and Appraisers: Property value is often closely tied to the buildings on it. Loan officers and appraisers can use this dataset to evaluate the worth of structures and get a clear picture of a property’s full value, which is crucial for lending decisions and valuations.
- Developers: Developers looking to build new projects need a comprehensive understanding of existing buildings on a property. Whether it’s a commercial warehouse or a residential home, knowing the size and location of these structures can impact development plans and cost estimates.
- Investors: Real estate investors interested in rural properties can use the Buildings Dataset to identify properties with existing structures that could be repurposed or developed further, helping them make strategic investment decisions based on the current and future potential of the land.
