Last HVAC permit 19 years ago — past a system’s typical life.
Skip the homes that aren’t buying.
In a blind backtest, 60% of our top-ranked Austin homes hired an HVAC contractor within the year — 17× the citywide rate.1
We also map Austin’s contractor network to see which jobs are still up for grabs. Top-ranked homes with no incumbent attached hired at 57%.1

Bought 3 months ago · built 1989 · AC last permitted 2009.

Numbers from our live Austin build, July 2026 — reserve shown in bands, never exact, until a territory is held. Sample rows are illustrative.2 Each territory is priced by its measured replacement demand and home-value mix ($249–$499/mo), 3-month minimum, no per-lead fees — ever.

I’m Phil — a data guy and the solo operator behind PermitSonar. It started with a simple question: could public records predict someone’s next big home project?
The answer surprised me enough that I turned it into what you see here. There’s no sales team, no call center, no marketing department — just me. So if you ever have a question or a concern, I’m one email away.
P.S. — Tell me the Austin zips you run and I’ll reply with five ranked homes from your area. Free, one reply from me, no follow-up sequence.
