By Jeff Stutzman | Monadnock Cyber Intelligence | February 2026
You just paid $1.75 million for a house in XXXXXX, Connecticut.
Congratulations. It's worth $1.22 million.
You overpaid by 43.5%. That's $530,000 you lit on fire because your agent "felt good about the comps" and your lender rubber-stamped a number that made their commission work.
Nobody told you. Nobody was looking. Nobody cared — because everyone in that transaction got paid whether you got a fair deal or not.
We care. And we're looking at everything.
At Monadnock Cyber, we don't sell houses. We sell intelligence.
While the rest of the real estate industry is still pulling comps from a 3-ring binder and calling it "market analysis," we built an automated valuation system that cross-references four independent pricing methodologies on every property we track:
When those four numbers agree, we have high confidence. When they don't, someone's getting taken for a ride.
We color-code every property:
Right now, we're actively tracking 38,967 property valuations across 15 states and DC, fed by 1.67 million distress signals from 33 independent data sources. This isn't a weekend hobby. This is an intelligence operation.
Here's what we found in just the last seven days:
That's not a typo. Nearly a billion dollars in unnecessary cost — in seven days — just in the properties we've valued so far. Imagine what a full year looks like.
That's one week. One. The machine never stops collecting.
Wall of Shame
| Location | Paid | Actually Worth | Overpaid By |
|---|---|---|---|
| XXXXXX, NH | $1,675,000 | $1,266,783 | 32.2% |
| XXXXXX, CT | $1,860,000 | $1,387,638 | 34.0% |
| XXXXXX, CT | $1,750,000 | $1,219,529 | 43.5% |
| XXXXXX, CT | $1,650,000 | $1,120,786 | 47.2% |
| XXXXXX, WV | $27,200,000 | $18,732,363 | 45.2% |
That NH property? Lakefront New Hampshire. Beautiful area. Terrible deal. Someone paid $408,000 more than they should have because nobody in the room had independent valuation data.
We started in the Lakes Region. Now we're everywhere that matters.
You think Manhattan commercial real estate is priced rationally? We found a "luxury hotel" property in valued at $111 million that traded at $260 million. That's a 134% premium. Somebody's CFO should be asking questions (OR FIRED!).
Traditional real estate runs on three things: gut instinct, motivated reasoning, and information asymmetry. The agent knows more than you. The seller knows more than you. The lender just wants to close.
We flip that model. Our system:
Here's what the billion-dollar Wall Street firms already know: real estate is an information game. The party with the best data wins. Blackstone doesn't buy a strip mall because the listing agent said it's a "great opportunity." They run the numbers. Multiple numbers. From multiple sources.
We call it REFAX — Real Estate Financial Analysis, Cross-Referenced. Every property gets a color. Every color is backed by math. Every decision you make is informed by data, not by someone who gets 3% of whatever you pay.
If you're buying: You should know the real value before you bid. Not the listing price. Not the "estimated market value" your agent pulled from a single source. The actual, multi-method, cross-referenced value.
If you're selling: You should know exactly where your property sits. GREEN means you're priced to sell fast. RED means your agent priced it to maximize their commission, not your outcome. YELLOW means you're in the zone.
If you're investing: You should be looking at our GREEN list. Properties where the math says there's value the market hasn't priced in yet. That's not speculation — that's arbitrage.
Residential. Commercial. Land. We value all of it. And we're moving quickly into business brokering and M&A — because the same information asymmetry that lets someone overpay for a lakehouse also lets someone overpay for a company.
38,967 valuations is the starting point. We're expanding coverage weekly. More states. More property types. More asset classes. The goal is simple: make information asymmetry a thing of the past.
The industry won't like it. They never do when someone turns the lights on.
But here's the thing — we're not asking permission.
Jeff Stutzman is the founder of Monadnock Cyber Intelligence and Monadnock Cyber (NH). He spent 35+ years in intelligence and cybersecurity before deciding the real estate industry needed the same treatment. He was right.

Intelligence Advantage
The real estate agents who win in New Hampshire
aren't guessing anymore.
They're running Monadnock Cyber.
While your competition is pulling a Zillow number and hoping for the best, Monadnock Cyber agents walk into every listing appointment with six months of property intelligence, four valuation methods, and 92 data sources behind them. That's not a competitive edge. That's a different game entirely.
The REFax Report is a weekly intelligence product. Not a market commentary. Not a hot-take from an agent who just listed their neighbor's house. An actual intelligence product — built on 92 data sources, validated against closed sales, running four independent AVM methods against every tracked property in New Hampshire.
Every week, the platform scores 6,339 properties. It assigns a valuation from each method, weights them by confidence, and flags anything that deviates meaningfully from estimated market value. You get the output. You decide what to do with it.
AI-generated. 92 data sources. 76% average confidence. 7.6% average error margin — validated against closed sales. That's not a disclaimer. That's a performance record.
This is not Zillow. Zillow publishes one estimate and prays you don't question it. The REFax runs four methods simultaneously, weights the outputs, and tells you the confidence interval. If two methods agree and two don't, you know that. If all four agree, you really know that.
This week: 18 properties are listed below their AI-estimated market value. Combined gap: over $1.1 million. Sellers who don't know their own value. Estates. Motivated situations. Properties that didn't get the memo.
| Town | Props | Avg Gap | Confidence | Signal |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amherst | 8 | −$64,113 | 75% | Strong buy signal |
| Wilton | 8 | −$55,564 | 62% | Moderate — verify comps |
| Concord | 1 | −$67,120 | 67% | Investigate — single property |
| Hampton | 1 | −$96,530 | 64% | Coastal — seasonal factors apply |
Amherst leads the state with 8 underpriced listings averaging $64,113 below estimated value — at 75% AI confidence. That's not a rounding error. That's a pattern. Something is happening in Amherst that the market hasn't priced correctly yet. The REFax found it. Now you know.
"18 properties. $1.1 million in combined pricing gaps. The market missed them. We didn't."
79 properties are currently listed above their AI-estimated market value. Some are marginally off. Some are egregiously wrong. The data doesn't care about feelings.
| Town | Props | Avg Premium | Confidence | Assessment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Salem | 2 | +$1,220,955 | 89% | Dramatically overpriced |
| Amherst | 32 | +$418,847 | 75% | Systemic overpricing |
| Portsmouth | 2 | +$285,348 | 94% | High-confidence overpricing |
| Nashua | 2 | +$174,288 | 75% | Overpriced at scale |
| Manchester | 4 | +$141,631 | 95% | Very high confidence |
Two listings. Average premium: $1,220,955 above estimated market value. Confidence: 89%. Those sellers need a reality check. The REFax has the receipts. If you're buying in Salem right now without running the numbers, you're trusting vibes over data.
Amherst appears on both the underpriced and overpriced lists this week — 8 underpriced listings averaging −$64K and 32 overpriced listings averaging +$419K. This isn't a contradiction. It's a bifurcated market. Some sellers priced correctly. Most are reaching. The REFax tells you which is which.
Property signals are pre-transaction indicators: expired listings, ownership changes, death, divorce, relocation, geographic farm activity, distress patterns. They tell you where activity is building before it shows up on the MLS. 892 active distress signals statewide this week.
| County | Signals (90 days) | Top Signal Types |
|---|---|---|
| Rockingham | 225 | Expired listings, property sales, relocations |
| Hillsborough | 218 | Death, divorce, geographic farm |
| Merrimack | 68 | Active listings, property sales |
| Strafford | 61 | Expired listings, new relocations |
| Carroll | 43 | Vacation property activity |
| Grafton | 43 | Geographic farm, sales |
| Belknap | 40 | Lakes Region residential |
| Cheshire | 21 | Monadnock region |
A distress signal doesn't mean a property is for sale. It means something changed. Death. Divorce. Job change. Expired listing. Corporate relocation. These are pre-market events — the 60–90 day window before a property hits MLS, when motivated sellers are reachable and competition is low. The REFax maps them. What you do with the map is your business.
Rockingham and Hillsborough together account for 443 signals — 60% of the statewide total. That's where the population is. That's where the transactions are. That's where the intelligence matters most.
Most real estate data is backward-looking. Closed sales. Median prices. Days on market. You're reading yesterday's newspaper and calling it market intelligence. The REFax is forward-looking — valuations against live listings, signals against future inventory, confidence intervals that tell you how sure to be.
The 7.6% average error margin, validated against closed sales, is a calibration benchmark. When the model says a property is worth $400,000, it's been right within $30,400 on average, historically. That's not perfect. It's disclosed and honest. More importantly, it's better than most human estimates — and humans don't tell you their error rate.
"The market doesn't lie. It just doesn't explain itself. The REFax does."
This week: $4.8 billion in tracked real estate. 18 properties with documented pricing gaps totaling over $1.1 million. 79 properties where sellers are pricing against hope, not data. 892 signals pointing to transactions that haven't listed yet. 92 data sources making sure nothing got missed.
Those 18 underpriced properties won't stay underpriced.
The $96,530 gap in Hampton. The 8 listings in Amherst averaging $64K below market. Every day you don't have this report, someone else does. Some of them are your competition. Some of them are the buyers you're trying to represent.
The REFax drops every week. This week's deals are live right now. Next week's report will have different properties — and some of this week's underpriced listings will already be under contract. The window is the window.
Weekly. Every tracked NH property. Every valuation gap. Every distress signal. The agents who have it know something the agents who don't have it don't.
