## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability property-memoryapi-org-0e69e276
```

Example prompt: What are the latest US housing market indicators — specifically housing starts, building permits, current mortgage rates, and the Case-Shiller home price index?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need a broad snapshot of US housing market conditions in a single call, covering starts, permits, prices, mortgage rates, and the Case-Shiller index together. Prefer this over the sibling home prices or rental endpoints when you want macro housing supply/demand and financing indicators rather than granular price or rent CPI data.

## Known failure modes

- Data source unavailable — upstream FRED or Case-Shiller feed is down
- Payment not processed — x402 payment of $0.001 USDC required
- Rate limit exceeded — too many requests in a short window
- Invalid request parameters — unsupported query parameters provided

## How this service works

U.S. real estate intelligence — Zillow home price indices, FRED housing market indicators, and rental data. Pay-per-request via x402 protocol on Base mainnet.

## Output

Returns a structured set of US housing market indicators including housing starts, building permits, home prices, current mortgage rates, and the Case-Shiller home price index — likely with recent values and possibly trend data.
