Fair-Value Engine

Stratara has an opinion. Every market.

No platform publishes a transparent, formula-driven fair-value cap rate per market. Green Street has analyst notes. CBRE publishes a snapshot twice a year. Stratara publishes a number — and the components — on every panel, continuously.

▲ CHEAP
Market trades wider than fair value. Spread >= 50 bps to model.
Example: market 6.4% vs Stratara 5.8% — 60 bps cheap.
◆ FAIR
Spread within ±50 bps of model. Pricing is in line with the risk + growth view.
No directional opinion — find your edge elsewhere.
▼ RICH
Market trades inside fair value. Spread <= -50 bps to model.
Example: market 4.6% vs Stratara 5.4% — 80 bps rich.
How the model is built
FairCap = 10Y Treasury
    + 1.50% illiquidity premium
    + Regional Risk (Stratara spokes)
    − Growth Credit (rent + pop + jobs)
    + Climate Load (FEMA NRI EAL)
Every component is visible on every panel. No black box. The Reverse Screener surfaces the markets where the model disagrees most with current pricing.
The Chain of Demand

Real estate is downstream of demand drivers.

Rent and sale comps are the last thing to move. The leading indicators sit in the demand drivers, jobs, and demographic shifts underneath every market.

01 · LEADING
Demand Drivers
Airports, hospitals, employers, universities, and ports anchor the economy and catalyze growth around them.
02 · LEADING
Jobs + People
Commercial growth creates employment and pulls in-migration. Both layers tracked continuously, not surveyed quarterly.
03 · LAGGING
Price + Appreciation
By the time rent comps and sale prices move, the cycle is already underway. This is what most investors start with.

Demand Driver Overlays

Stratara surfaces 24 demand-driver overlays on every market — airports, hospitals, university campuses, military installations, data centers, ports, and more.

Most investors start at the bottom of the chain — sale price, cap rate surveys, rent comps — after the move has already happened. Stratara lets you start at the top.

Demand Framework

Where Demand Begins

Demand drivers are the sources of sustained economic activity that bring people, jobs, and capital into a market — setting off the entire growth cycle.

01
Primary Economic Anchors
Core demand creation
  • Major employers / corporate HQs
  • Fortune 500 headquarters
  • Colleges & universities
  • Major medical centers
  • Military installations
  • Film & TV studios
02
Experience & Destination
External demand inflow
  • Sports stadiums & arenas
  • Convention centers
  • Major tourism attractions
  • Entertainment districts
03
Commercial & Consumption

  • Lifestyle / mixed-use developments
  • Amazon fulfillment centers
04
Transportation & Trade
Connectivity layer

  • Deepwater ports
  • Amtrak / regional rail stations
  • Rail intermodal terminals
  • Border crossings
05
Industrial & Supply-Side
Production layer
  • Semiconductor fabrication plants
  • Data centers
  • Nuclear / major energy infrastructure
  • EV & battery manufacturing plants
06

  • Opportunity Zones / development
  • Tech hubs / research & biotech
  • School systems
  • Remote work migration trends
  • Population inflow / migration patterns
NOTE / 00
Demand compounds when drivers align. The strongest markets are defined by the intersection of multiple drivers, reinforcing each stage of the cycle. A single employer creates jobs. Jobs attract people. People create housing demand. Density supports retail. Sustained growth attracts infrastructure investment. Price appreciation comes last — not first.
Leading vs. Lagging

Stop tracking what already happened.

Most investors start with prices and work backward. Stratara starts at the signal and works forward.
