Disclosure

SunBeltPulse is committed to transparency about how we produce content, how we earn revenue, and where our data comes from. The disclosures below satisfy requirements from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and support informed reading.

1. AI-Assisted Content

Articles on SunBeltPulse are researched, drafted, and edited with the assistance of large language models (LLMs), including Anthropic's Claude. Every published article goes through a multi-stage pipeline:

1. Automated web research and topic evaluation
2. AI-drafted article using current market data
3. Automated fact-checking — statistical claims are verified against source URLs
4. Copy editing pass for tone, grammar, and readability
5. Human review before publication

Despite this process, errors may occur. Data sourced from government APIs (FRED) reflects the figures available at time of publication. We correct errors promptly when they are identified — contact us at hello@sunbeltpulse.com to report one.

2. Affiliate Links

Some articles and pages on SunBeltPulse contain affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click a link and make a purchase or sign up for a service — at no additional cost to you. Affiliate relationships we currently have or may have include:

• Mortgage lenders and rate comparison services
• Real estate platforms (e.g. Zillow, Realtor.com partner programs)
• Moving and relocation services
• Home insurance providers
• Financial products and tools

Affiliate relationships do not influence editorial decisions. We do not accept payment to write about specific companies, and we do not guarantee positive coverage in exchange for commissions.

Affiliate links are identified with a disclosure note near the relevant content where required by FTC guidelines.

3. Advertising

SunBeltPulse displays ads through Google AdSense and may work with other advertising networks. Ad placements are clearly separated from editorial content. Advertisers have no influence over the content of articles, data presented, or editorial conclusions.

4. Data Sources

Market statistics published on this site are drawn from the following public sources:

• FRED (Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis) — Median listing prices, active listing counts, days on market, new listings
• U.S. Census Bureau — Population and migration data
• Redfin Data Center — Supplemental market trend data
• Bureau of Labor Statistics — Employment and wage data where cited

Data is updated periodically. Publication dates are shown on each article and data page. Past market conditions are not necessarily indicative of future performance.

5. Not Financial or Investment Advice

Nothing on SunBeltPulse constitutes financial, investment, legal, or real estate advice. Content is provided for informational and educational purposes only. Real estate markets are complex and individual circumstances vary widely. Always consult a licensed real estate professional, financial advisor, or attorney before making any investment or purchasing decision.
