Questions this page answers
How many homes have changed hands in the US since June 1, 2026?
Across the 280 metros BellAveGo tracks from county assessor and recorder feeds, 55,321 residential parcels recorded a sale between 2026-06-01 and October 17, 2026. This is a coverage-limited count, not a national total: it includes only counties whose sales records we ingest.
Which cities have the most new homeowners right now?
As of October 17, 2026: Ocala, FL (2,996); Seattle, WA (2,544); Baltimore, MD (2,433); Bradenton, FL (2,021); Tampa, FL (1,697). Florida dominates because most Florida county property appraisers publish sales daily.
Where does this data come from?
County property-appraiser and recorder feeds (for example Hillsborough, Orange, Palm Beach, Broward, Duval, Miami-Dade, Sarasota, Manatee, Lee, Collier and Volusia in Florida; Norfolk, Chesterfield, Newport News and Arlington in Virginia; Baltimore City; Los Angeles County). A record counts when a residential parcel shows a recorded transfer on or after June 1, 2026. Institutional buyers are excluded where the feed names the grantee.
Why do new homeowners matter to cleaning and painting companies?
A household that just closed books a move-in deep clean and repaints interiors in its first 90 days, and has no incumbent cleaner or painter. BellAveGo delivers these records as exclusive leads — one cleaning company and one painting company per zip — for $29/week after a 3-day free trial.
Cleaner or painter? These homeowners are your next customers.
BellAveGo delivers them as exclusive leads — one cleaning company and one painting company per zip, owner name + address, and the deed record itself. New-owner records rarely carry a phone, so these are addresses to knock or mail. 3 days free, then $29/week. Cancel in one click.
Methodology. BellAveGo ingests county property-appraiser and recorder sales feeds nightly and keeps one record per residential parcel per sale. A metro appears when its county publishes a machine-readable sales feed; coverage is therefore uneven and Florida-heavy, and totals here are floors, not market-wide counts. Where the feed names the buyer, LLCs, trusts, banks and government transfers are excluded. Every figure reproduces against the public source; email us for the exact queries.
