Track every feature, fix, and improvement shipped to InstantlyAnalyze, in the order we released it. New calculators, data-source upgrades, AI improvements, workflow refinements, and the occasional bug fix all land here first. Updates publish the same day they ship, so check back regularly — or follow along as we roll out the next phase of the platform.
Each entry includes what changed, why it matters to real estate investors, and a short "how to test" checklist so you can verify the behavior on your own portfolio. If a recent change affects a deal you already analyzed, open it in the rental property calculator or BRRRR analyzer and re-run the numbers — the new logic applies automatically.
April 30, 2026New
Local smart assumptions and appreciation data
The rental report now compares your appreciation and rent-growth inputs against deterministic Zillow-backed market data and flags property tax that looks like an annual amount entered as monthly.
Generator: extended scripts/generate-markets-data.js to emit src/content/markets/generatedMarketAssumptions.ts with 1/3/5/10y CAGRs, conservative suggested defaults, and county profiles per supported metro
Helpers: added findMarketAssumptionProfileByProperty (city → county-membership → state-only fallback) and getCriticalAssumptionWarnings in benchmark.ts
Report UI: added a Market-backed assumptions panel inside Assumptions & Mechanics with current vs market suggestion rows and one-click Apply
Report UI: added a deterministic Property Overview banner that flags monthly property tax that looks like an annual amount and offers a one-click "Treat this value as annual" fix
Report data: added an isOwnedProperty flag on IRentalCalculatorData and a portfolio/current-hold framing badge on the Summary panel, plus a form toggle on the property-information step
Run npm run generate:markets in InstantlyAnalyze-Layouts and confirm generatedMarketAssumptions.ts is written with finite CAGRs (no Infinity, no NaN)
Load a Mobile, AL report with $1,500/month property tax and confirm the Property Overview banner says the value looks annual; click Treat this value as annual and verify Summary cash flow flips positive
Load a Park City, UT property and confirm the Market-backed assumptions panel resolves to a Utah metro profile with current vs suggested appreciation and rent growth
Toggle "I already own this property" on the form and confirm the Summary section shows the Portfolio / current-hold focus framing badge instead of Acquisition underwriting
April 30, 2026

Cleaner Rent Estimator UX, a friendlier sign-in nudge, and post-login now reliably returns you to the page you started on.
April 26, 2026
AI assumption review fallback hardening
AI assumption review now uses Nova Lite by default and returns useful deterministic underwriting flags when model enrichment is unavailable.
April 22, 2026

April 20, 2026
Zillow scraper import handoff polish
The Zillow scraper side panel now keeps completed scrape results visible after import and no longer swaps to a login-required gate during website handoff.
Marketing pages no longer load Cloudscape JS/CSS, the demo property page dropped from 31s LCP to sub-3s, Home/Markets CLS scores were fixed, and HSTS headers are now CDK-managed for both beta and prod.
April 19, 2026
SEO and performance hardening
Prerendering, sitemap generation, structured data, and responsive image delivery were tightened so public investor pages map cleanly to crawlable HTML and load with less layout movement.
April 12, 2026
Markets SEO consolidated on /analyze/markets
The top-level markets experience now lives on /analyze/markets with extension setup and Zillow import guidance, while sitemap generation drops the individual market briefs.
April 11, 2026
Zillow scraper: sign-in gate and cleaner extension panel
The Zillow scraper extension now requires signing into InstantlyAnalyze before scraping, and the side panel UI was simplified to remove banner clutter and debug noise.
April 10, 2026
Zillow scraper import session fix
Fixed the Zillow scraper import flow so scraped sessions persist in extension storage correctly and the import page distinguishes missing extension connectivity from missing scrape data.
April 9, 2026
Zillow scraper limits, import feedback, and SEO copy refresh
Free Zillow scraping now stops after the first results page with clearer upgrade messaging, imports report missing or empty sessions more explicitly, and core marketing/tool pages ship updated search metadata.

April 3, 2026
Image loading performance improvements
Hero image preload now correctly targets AVIF (the format browsers actually load), rentEstimator gains responsive image variants, and a redundant high-priority image flag was removed to keep LCP uncontested.
April 3, 2026
Markets cards were compacted and benchmark comparison moved into score breakdown
The markets index now uses a denser card layout with compact average-deal rows, and the report-side market benchmark comparison now lives inside the sticky summary score breakdown instead of below the hero.
April 3, 2026
Markets now lead with benchmarks and report-side comparisons

April 3, 2026

The public market experience now lives on /markets with Zillow-backed market pages, county maps, and navbar routing that points visitors to the atlas instead of the old scanner landing page.

The public /markets experience now generates 75 Zillow-backed markets at build time, adds transparent market ratings, and shows real county overlays on each city page.
April 2, 2026
Markets pages now show sourced snapshots instead of fabricated stats
The public /markets experience was rebuilt around provenance-first Zillow snapshot metrics, underwriting guidance, and CTA paths into analysis so unsupported market numbers no longer ship as facts.
April 2, 2026
Sitemap now generates from live SEO routes
The build now generates /sitemap.xml from the actual public route sources so URLs and lastmod dates no longer drift from the site, and the current market pages are excluded from indexing for now.
April 1, 2026
Community and subscribe light-mode polish
The community gallery now uses an explicit themed page shell so cards no longer sit on a black backdrop in light mode, and the subscribe hero headline now stays readable in light mode.
Cloudscape global CSS now loads only when a product route is visited, the homepage hero no longer competes with a background image for LCP, below-the-fold images use responsive srcsets, and the report creation page is fully blocked for unauthenticated users.
March 31, 2026
Homepage and frontend delivery got a major performance pass
The marketing shell now avoids loading the full product on first paint, above-the-fold assets are prioritized more cleanly, and production deploys now ship cache metadata that browsers and CloudFront can actually use.
March 28, 2026

On the roadmap
Here's what we're actively building next for real estate investors: deeper market-level rent forecasts, a full portfolio dashboard that rolls up cash flow and equity across every deal you've analyzed, expanded BRRRR exit-scenario modeling, and a native mobile experience for walking properties. We ship incrementally — each of those lands in pieces over the coming release notes as features stabilize.
Requesting a feature is the fastest way to move it up the queue. Real feedback from real deals is what drives the roadmap more than anything else. Drop us a note from the contact page with what you're trying to solve and the scenario you're trying to model, and you'll see it show up here.
