WHY THE
VALUE INDEX
EXISTS
Most building comparisons rely on broker opinions, marketing materials, and gut feel. The Undivided Value Index™ replaces that with something better: measurable facts, published weights, and a score that updates when reality does. We built it because our clients, analysts, executives, investors, deserve a framework as rigorous as their own thinking.
What we measure
Every NYC condo we evaluate is scored across eight weighted factors, combined into a single 0-100 composite with a letter grade for fast, confident comparison.
20%
Access & Connectivity

Measures objective time/distance to daily needs and the availability of accessible transit and step-free building access.

15%
Amenity ROI

The usefulness and depth of amenities relative to monthly carrying costs.

20%
Financial Fundamentals

Price fairness and HOA financial health.

15%
Build & Systems Quality

Construction integrity and building systems robustness.

10%
Sustainability & Wellness

Recognized green standards and health-supporting systems.

10%
Appreciation Drivers (Supply & Absorption)

Market structure around the asset, not people.

5%
Market Liquidity (DOM & Turnover)

How readily units trade or rent.

5%
Home Functionality & Policies

Everyday usability and neutral policies.

We deliberately exclude school ratings, crime opinions, and demographic descriptors. Our scoring is built on what the building delivers, not who lives nearby.
How we calculate the Value Index
The methodology, fully disclosed.
Outlier capping ensures no single data point distorts the result.
Each factor is normalized to a consistent 0-10 scale.
Every weight is published and applied the same way for every building.
The weighted inputs combine to produce a single 0-100 composite score.
Scores map to letter grades for fast scanning:

A+ 95-100

A 90-94

A- 85-89

B+ 80-84

B 75-79

B- 70-74

C <70

Methodology v1.1 · Data snapshot date shown on every building · Confidence band (±2 pts) displayed when inputs are limited.
What we can verify
Data sources & documentation

Sale prices, amendments, offering plans, and sponsor filings where available.

Recorded sales & offering docs

Financials, reserve context, fees, and governance disclosures from public-facing records.

HOA/condo documents

Objective travel times and connectivity using current routing and distance datasets.

Transit & routing data

Infrastructure, zoning, and public investment signals with direct relevance to the asset.

City planning & capital plans

Construction era, systems quality, resilience indicators, and operating details.

Building & systems info

Third-party sustainability and wellness credentials such as LEED and related programs.

Recognized certifications
We never use school ratings, demographic labels, or any input that reflects people rather than property.
What we track over time
A living score, not a static snapshot.
Every score is versioned so you can see what changed, when, and why.
Versioning
If inputs change or records are corrected, we refresh the scoring, notes, and document trail.
Corrections
Scores refresh every quarter or sooner when key inputs change.
Refresh cadence
What Value Index is and isn't
Built for clarity. Not a crystal ball.
Is

A standardized, objective framework that scores building-level attributes affecting value, livability, and long-term ownership, applied consistently to every NYC condo we evaluate.

Isn't

Financial, legal, or mortgage advice; a prediction of individual outcomes; or any commentary on people, schools, or safety.

Frequently asked questions

How the Index works, how scores are protected, and what happens when data is incomplete.

Do you take payment to raise a score?

Never. Scores are determined solely by methodology. We do not sell placement, sponsored positions, or any form of influence over results.

Can a building improve its Value Index?

Yes—by strengthening reserves, completing planned capital projects, improving energy performance, adding step-free access, or right-sizing amenity costs.

How do you handle new buildings with thin data?

We label them Provisional and lean on systems quality, sustainability, Amenity ROI, and Access & Connectivity until operating/liquidity history matures.

What if data is missing?

We re-weight within the affected factor and display a Data-Light badge plus a confidence band so users see the limitation.
