Parcel and Polymarket Bring Data-Driven Housing Forecasts to Prediction Markets

Parcl, which tracks real-time housing data and on-chain real estate, has joined forces with Polymarket, which is the world’s largest prediction market. The collaboration will oversee the launch of a whole new set of prediction markets for real estate. This will be based on Parcl’s housing price indices.

In this way, traders and analysts will have a credible source they can count on. Instead of dealing with the complexities of the actual properties, users can forecast the future of the housing market using Parcl’s published indices. The market will be managed by Polymarket, while Parcl will provide the independent index data and reference for settlement.

The housing market is still the largest asset class. However, trying to forecast prices would mean entering complex real estate investments. A combination of Parcl’s indices and the event market type provided by Polymarket is a simpler solution. So, participants now get rules with publicly verifiable settlement data.
