“When we started Altos Research 16 years ago, our goal was to bring much better real estate market information to people who needed it now. So when the opportunity to join forces with HW Media arose, I immediately saw that our companies’ vision and capabilities were perfectly aligned. Together, we will not only be able to provide clients with access to Altos’ unique real-time data, but we will also have a team of journalists and analysts who can turn this data into meaningful insights at scale. It is a powerful combination that will have a great impact for the market and for our customers.”
