Counted with a single aggregate query against Seattle SDCI’s own permit descriptions, dataset 76t5-zqzr, when this page was last rebuilt. It is the pool, not the feed: scoring and per-rule exclusions cut it down from here, and what reaches a rep is the part that clears 65.
6 filings worth a call.
These rules run against the words an applicant in Seattle wrote on the form, not against the category the city filed it under. That distinction matters: Seattle SDCI groups a large share of work under "Addition/Alteration", which tells you nothing about the trade it feeds.
Rezoning hearing scheduled
The earliest signal that exists. A case set for hearing means an owner has already filed and paid, weeks before the decision, months before a permit, and before any competitor reading permit data can see it.
Rezoning / variance approved
Pre-permit entitlement. Development intent is now on the public record, months before any permit exists.
New construction
Ground-up construction means a transaction on both ends, land in, finished product out.
Teardown / rebuild
Demolition is the clearest teardown-rebuild tell, and the owner is nearly always working with capital.
ADU / second unit
ADUs signal an owner optimizing for yield, usually an investor, or an owner about to become one.
Addition / major remodel
Renovation precedes listing far more often than not, the pre-sale improvement window is roughly 6 to 18 months.

Ranked by total filings over the window. A territory is one of these plus real estate, so this doubles as the shortlist worth buying. Each one runs the real pipeline live and needs no account.

What does a real estate territory in Seattle cost?
A territory is one trade in one geography, and Seattle ZIPs are sold individually. Starter carries three, Pro ten and exclusive, Scale forty. Reading the feed is unmetered; only owner-contact lookups draw down credits, because those are the only part that costs money per record.
Are these leads exclusive?
On Pro and above, yes, no other paying customer receives real estate leads for the same ZIP. It is enforced by a database constraint, so two people cannot be sold the same territory.
