Market Intelligence by Wert-Berater provides independent market research for investors, lenders, developers, corporations and operators evaluating where to invest, what to build, what a market will support and how a property or industry compares with its competitive environment.
Seven property-type families, eight fixed-price packages, and any geography from a single county to several states — available to buy today. Every figure carries its source, its date and its limitations — because the person you hand it to is looking for the weakness in your case. The method behind the reports is set out in the Market Intelligence section.

A market report answers a narrow, expensive question: what will this market actually support? Not what a broker’s flyer suggests, and not what a national average implies. This page lists every market report you can purchase from Wert-Berater, explains what each one covers, shows what every package costs before you order, and walks you through choosing between them. If your project then needs a full feasibility study, the market analysis you buy here carries directly into it.
The reports on this page are written to your brief by an analyst: you set the question, the geography and the competitive set. Market Risk Intelligence is a separate product that answers a question we have already framed — how risky is this market for this property type — to a published structure, so two markets can be read the same way. It is produced for every property type the firm works in, in any market — hotel and manufacturing have a page of their own. Neither report substitutes for the other, and a lender asking for one will not accept the other in its place.
See Market Risk Intelligence →The reports on this page are written to your brief by an analyst. Market Risk Intelligence is the opposite arrangement: one market risk report answering a question we have already framed, prepared to a published structure so two markets can be read the same way. It is produced for every property type we work in — hotel and manufacturing have a page of their own here. The difference between the two products is the form of the work, not the property type — which is why every class appears on both sides.
Check coverage for your market →Each family below is a dedicated report with its own metric schedule, its own competitive-set definition and its own report builder. Choose the closest match to the asset you are building, buying, refinancing or repositioning — the property type controls which metrics actually govern the analysis.
Asking and effective rents, concessions, vacancy and occupancy, absorption and lease-up velocity, the construction pipeline, sales evidence and renter demand.
Asking and effective rents, tenant improvement and concession packages, direct and sublease vacancy, net absorption, deliveries and employment-driven demand.
Rents by centre type, vacancy and occupancy cost, co-tenancy and anchor strength, traffic and trade-area demographics, sales evidence and the competitive set.
Rent per square foot by clear height and building class, vacancy and absorption, the development pipeline, land pricing, logistics access and transaction evidence.
Service-area utilisation and discharges, payer mix, case volumes and procedure migration, competing providers, physician supply and certificate-of-need context.
Each component analysed on its own terms and then together, so the residential, retail, office and hospitality elements are tested against their own submarkets.
Traffic counts and capture rates, fuel volumes and margins, inside sales per customer, competing fuel positions, truck parking supply and highway access.
Custom geography and less common property types are quoted on request. If none of the seven is a clean match, contact us and we will scope it or tell you plainly that a market report is not the right instrument for your question.
Two short videos, about two and a half minutes each. The first explains what you are actually buying and why a third party will rely on it. The second walks through ordering and, more importantly, what to do with the report once it arrives.
Firm-wide engagement figures are distinct from project-specific findings and their stated source periods.
What the report contains, how it differs from broker sheets and aggregator averages, who relies on it, and what it costs.

Pick the report family above that matches your asset. The property type determines the metric schedule, so a retail report analyses co-tenancy and trade-area spending while an industrial report analyses clear height and drayage access. If your project genuinely spans several uses, start with the Mixed-Use report.
A single county, a multi-county region, one state, or several states. Choose the area your project actually competes in rather than the area you find convenient — an over-broad geography dilutes the evidence and a too-narrow one misses the competing supply. If you are still deciding where to build, order the Site Selection Comparison Report instead and let it rank up to five candidate sites for one total fee.
The report builder on each page prices your selection as you make it, before you submit anything. Additional counties, states or property types are added at published rates. Bundling several types or counties into one package costs less than ordering them separately.
An analyst reviews your order and confirms the scope, the delivery date and any data limitations for your geography before work starts. If a metric cannot be sourced reliably where you are building, you are told then — not in a footnote after delivery. Most reports arrive in three to five business days as a source-cited PDF.
If your asset is one of the report families above, use the builder on that page — it prices your package as you configure it, so you see the fee before you submit anything. This form is for everything else: special-purpose property, an unusual geography, several markets at once, or a question you are not sure which family answers. An analyst reads it, confirms the scope, the fee and a delivery date with you, and comes back within one business day. Nothing is charged until that is agreed, and no payment is taken on this website.
Tell us the property type and the market. Everything else helps the analyst scope it properly.
An analyst will come back to you within one business day to agree the scope, the fee and a delivery date. If it is urgent, call +1 310-857-2443 ext. 800 and quote your name.
Seven of the eight packages are available on every report family; the Site Selection Comparison Report is not offered on the Mixed-Use report. Prices below are the base package fee; the builder on each report page shows your final figure as you add counties, states or property types.

|---|---|---|---|
| County Market Snapshot | $1,950 | 1 county · 1 property type | The fastest read on a single market. Core supply, rent, vacancy and demand indicators. |
| County Market Report | $3,950 | 1 county · 2 property types | The standard lender-facing report. Full metric schedule with competitive set and pipeline. |
| Multi-County Regional Report | $5,950 | Up to 5 counties · 3 property types | For a regional footprint or a trade area that crosses county lines. |

Fees are fixed at the scope confirmed before research begins. The Site Selection Comparison Report fee is a total for up to five candidate sites, not a per-site price.
Contents vary by property type and by what the data in your geography will actually support, but every report is built on the same spine.
Metrics are included when they apply to the selected property type and when reliable source data exists for the selected geography. Source dates, assumptions and material data limitations are identified in the report rather than omitted.
Independent third-party market support for a loan file, prepared by a firm with no position in the transaction.
Testing a concept, product type and price point against the actual submarket before land closes or plans advance.
An outside read on rent, occupancy and absorption assumptions before an investment committee commits capital.
Deciding whether to reposition, expand, hold or sell, with transaction evidence to support pricing.
The packages above cover the seven property-type families sold through the report builder. For asset classes underwritten on their own units of supply and demand — rooms, pallet positions, megawatts, slips, care beds — the firm prepares commissioned market intelligence written to the same standards. Each page below explains what is measured for that asset type and what a lender looks for.
Competitive set performance, demand segmentation, rate ladder and pipeline.
Net rentable square feet per capita, unit mix, street rates and lease-up evidence.
Sites by type, seasonal occupancy and the rate structure by stay length.
Wet slips and dry stack by vessel length, waiting lists and ancillary revenue.
Pallet positions by temperature regime, throughput and power capacity.
Installed and queued megawatts, interconnection position and absorption.
Industry capacity, delivered input cost, labour shed and offtake.
Units by care level against the age- and income-qualified population.
Installed and queued capacity, offtake structures and cleared pricing.
Production in the draw area, competing capacity and basis behaviour.
Regional production, landed import prices and reachable buyer channels.
Where the question is a location rather than a market — comparing candidate sites, or testing one site — see site selection services, location analysis or the market intelligence programme.
We also prepare a separate, non-custom product: Market Risk Intelligence, a market risk report on one property cohort in a selected market, produced for any property type the firm works in. Both lines are commissioned and both are written by an analyst; Market Risk Intelligence follows our published report structure, where the reports on this page are prepared to your brief. Where the question is yours to define — a specific site, a defined competitive set, or a lender’s stated requirement — the reports on this page are the right instrument.
A market report documents the market. A feasibility study tests your specific project against that market and reaches a conclusion on feasibility, including project costs and a fully linked financial model. An appraisal develops an opinion of value for a defined property interest to USPAP standards. These are separate instruments with separate scopes and fees. Buying a market report first is often the least expensive way to find out whether the larger engagement is worth commissioning at all — and if the market will not support the project, we would rather you learn it here.
Start with the property type you are building, buying or refinancing, then choose the geography your project actually competes in. Most single-asset decisions are answered by a County Market Report. If you are still choosing between locations, order the Site Selection Comparison Report instead. If you are not sure, call us before you order and we will tell you which package fits, including when a cheaper one is sufficient.
Price is fixed by package and quoted in the report builder before you submit anything. Eight packages run from $1,950 for a county snapshot to $9,950 for a multi-state report. Additional counties, states or property types beyond a package's inclusions are priced at published rates shown in the builder as you add them, so the estimate you see is the fee.
Most reports are delivered in three to five business days from confirmed scope. Larger multi-state and multi-type packages can take longer, and we tell you the expected date when we confirm scope rather than after you have paid.
No. A market report documents supply, demand, competition and pricing for a property type and geography. A feasibility study takes that market evidence and tests a specific project against it, including project costs, a financial model and a conclusion on feasibility. The market report is often the first step, and the analysis carries directly into a later feasibility engagement.
No. An appraisal develops an opinion of value for a specific property interest as of an effective date, and is prepared to USPAP standards by a licensed appraiser. A market report does not opine on value. A transaction may require one, the other, or both, and they are scoped and quoted separately.
These reports are prepared as independent third-party analysis and are routinely submitted with loan packages. We are not a party to your transaction, hold no brokerage licence and earn no commission on it. We cannot promise any particular lender's acceptance, because that is the lender's decision and some programmes require a full feasibility study rather than a market report.
We tell you before research begins, and the finished report states the limitation on the schedule it affects. Every figure carries its source and date. Where reliable evidence does not exist for a metric in your geography, the report says so rather than substituting a national average or an assumption presented as a finding.
Usually, yes. The seven families cover the most frequently requested assets, but custom geography and less common property types are quoted on request. Use the Strategic Opportunity Report for custom geography, or contact us and we will scope it.
Choose a property type above to build and price your report, or talk to an analyst first if you would like help picking the right package.
