Questions from CRE Professionals
Common questions about using W.A.L.D.O for commercial real estate.
Yes. W.A.L.D.O uses the same Economic Base Analysis methodology taught in CCIM CI 102. If you're a CCIM designee or candidate, you'll recognize the Location Quotient calculations, Economic Base Multipliers, and demand forecasting approach.
W.A.L.D.O supports demand analysis for multifamily, retail, office, industrial, hospitality, and self-storage. Each property type uses specific methodologies to project demand based on relevant economic drivers.
CoStar focuses on existing properties, rent comps, and transaction data. W.A.L.D.O focuses on demand forecasting — understanding where demand is coming from and where it's headed. We analyze employment growth to predict future demand, not just report on current market conditions. W.A.L.D.O is also significantly more affordable.
W.A.L.D.O uses official government data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (QCEW employment data) and U.S. Census Bureau (demographics and housing). This is the same data used by federal agencies, economists, and major research institutions.
W.A.L.D.O covers every Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) and county in the United States — over 380 metros and 3,000+ counties. If the BLS and Census track it, you can analyze it.
Yes. You can export professional PDF reports and Excel spreadsheets with all underlying data. The Professional plan includes white-label reports that you can customize with your branding.
