Know Whether the Deal Works Before You Buy the Dirt
Test one house or a small multi-lot development. Enter the land, build, infrastructure, financing, sale, and target-profit assumptions. Deal Analyzer shows what the deal may make — and what needs to change if the numbers do not work.

See the pressure points before they become your problem.
Deal Analyzer is built for the moment when a residential builder is deciding whether a single lot, spec opportunity, or small development is worth pursuing.
Test the lot before you buy it
Run one house, one lot, or a small multi-lot opportunity before you commit capital to the dirt, infrastructure, and build.
See the projected all-in cost
Bring build cost, land acquisition, infrastructure, financing, commissions, and other deal assumptions into one feasibility view.
See projected profit and margin
Check whether the deal reaches the return you are targeting instead of relying on a rough back-of-the-envelope guess.
Back into the maximum lot price
See what you can afford to pay for a single lot or the overall property and still hit your target profit or margin.
Back into the sale price you need
See the sale price and price per square foot a finished house — or the required average across several homes — may need for the deal to work.
Deal Analyzer walkthrough
See how Deal Analyzer pressure-tests a deal before you commit.
Watch how land, build cost, infrastructure, financing, sale price, profit, and target margin work together in one feasibility view.
Use the assumptions you already think about when judging a deal.
Deal Analyzer puts the major residential feasibility inputs in one place so you can see how they work together instead of solving each one separately.
You enter
- Single lot or multi-lot / small development
- Potential home count and average home size
- Manual build cost or Smart Budget estimate
- Land acquisition and closing costs
- Road, utility, sewer/septic and infrastructure allowances
- Financing / interest estimate
- Expected sale price or $/SF
- Commissions and target margin
You see
- Projected all-in cost
- Projected profit / development profit
- Projected margin
- Maximum lot or land price to hit the target
- Required average sale price per home
- Required sale price per square foot
What can you pay for the lot? What does the house need to sell for?
Those are usually the questions that decide whether a deal deserves more time. Deal Analyzer can answer them for one house or work backward from the average result needed across several planned homes.
If the first version does not work, change the lot price, build cost, sale price, or target and immediately see what would have to move.

Deal Analyzer is meant to help a builder screen and compare opportunities before committing. It does not guarantee a profit or predict the market.
- Evaluate one-house deals or small multi-lot developments
- Use Smart Budget or a manual build-cost assumption
- Include land acquisition and infrastructure allowances
- Compare projected profit and margin with your target
- Solve for maximum lot / land price

Questions about VantageSpan Deal Analyzer
What is VantageSpan Deal Analyzer?
Deal Analyzer is a residential project-feasibility tool for builders evaluating a single lot, spec home, or small multi-lot development. It combines build, land, infrastructure, financing, commission, and sale assumptions into projections of cost, profit, margin, land-price limits, and required sale price.
Can Deal Analyzer use Smart Budget?
Yes. Deal Analyzer can use a Smart Budget estimate as the build-cost starting point, or the builder can use a manual build-cost assumption when that is more appropriate.
Does Deal Analyzer create or change an active project?
No. Deal Analyzer is a planning tool. It is designed to evaluate a potential deal without changing active project costs, invoices, draws, or other project financial records.
Are Deal Analyzer results guaranteed?
No. Deal Analyzer outputs are projections based on the assumptions entered. Actual costs, financing, timing, commissions, sale price, market conditions, and other factors can change the final result.
