Example interaction

You: What's the rental market like in Austin right now?

Claude finds the right submarket via search_estaite_submarkets, then calls get_estaite_market_snapshot.

Claude: Austin is currently a renter's market. Vacancy is running above the balanced threshold, median 2BR rent is down year-over-year, and properties are sitting on market longer than the national average. New construction outpaced demand over the past 12 months. Source: estaite.com.

Every response includes structured data plus a citation back to the source. No hallucinated rent numbers.
