Build an Apartment Price History with AI

Track apartment and rental listing prices over time in your target neighborhoods with trend analysis.

All data inline: `const NEIGHBORHOODS = [...]`, `const CURRENT_LISTINGS = [...]`, `const PRICE_HISTORY = [...]`, `const MARKET_STATS = {...}`, `const LAST_UPDATED = "..."`. NEIGHBORHOODS array: name, avgRent1BR, avgRent2BR, avgRent3BR, medianSqFt, pricePerSqFt, monthOverMonthChangePct, yearOverYearChangePct, vacancyRatePct, walkScore, transitScore, crimeIndex (low/medium/high), popularWith (e.g. "young professionals"), emoji. CURRENT_LISTINGS array: id, neighborhood, bedrooms, bathrooms, sqFt, rentMonthly, address (street only, no full address), floor, buildingType (apartment/condo/townhouse/studio), amenities (array: parking/gym/pool/laundry/AC/dishwasher/pets), availableDate, postedDaysAgo, sourceUrl, isNewListing (bool), isBelowMarket (bool — if rent < neighborhood avg by 10%).

Neighborhood comparison table: sortable rows with neighborhood name, 1BR/2BR/3BR averages, MoM change with colored arrow, vacancy rate, Walk Score. 4. Price trend chart: inline SVG line chart (400px tall) for 12-month history — three lines (1BR/2BR/3BR) in different colors, x-axis month labels, y-axis rent labels. 5. Current listings grid (2 cols): each card shows bedrooms/baths badge, neighborhood, sqFt, rent in #0ea5e9 large, price-per-sqft small, amenity icons (emoji row), "Below Market" badge in green if applicable, available date, "View Listing" link. 6. "Best Value" callout: the single listing with lowest price-per-sqft across all neighborhoods, highlighted with a star badge. 7. Renter's timing guide: a static section with text analysis — "Based on current trends, rents in [City] are [rising/falling/stable]. Best time to sign: [analysis]." 8. Footer: "Rental data researched weekly from Zillow, Apartments.com, and local listings" + last updated. SEO: JSON-LD RealEstateListing for top 5 listings, city-specific title/meta.
