Selection rules

What qualifies for this page

A listing must be a detached house in Yamagata prefecture and pass the national availability rules.

The score ranks usefulness for this page. It is not a survey, valuation, legal opinion, investment rating, or statement about structural condition.

How the automated score works

  1. 1. Hard availability gate: available now, checked within 14 days, with a price and images.
  2. 2. Editorial score: availability 25, freshness 20, complete facts 20, imagery 20, and page fit 15.
  3. 3. Diversity pass: city and source caps prevent one feed or location from taking over the first results.
  4. 4. Automatic refresh: the API rebuilds and caches the selection for five minutes.
