What is CoreLogic, now called Cotality?
CoreLogic, now Cotality, provides property data and analytics for sectors including mortgage lending and insurance. Learn how to interpret a record or estimate.
CoreLogic is the former name of Cotality, a property information and analytics company. The company announced its global rebrand in March 2025. Older contracts, reports and API integrations can still say “CoreLogic.” If a team is tracking vendors or reviewing a data agreement, those two names alone are not evidence of two competing suppliers.
What does a property-data provider actually supply?
A property record can describe a parcel, a recorded sale or a building characteristic. An analytics product can use observations like those to estimate a value or assess exposure to a hazard. The two outputs answer different questions. A recorded sale price tells you what a transaction reported; an estimated value is a model’s result for a particular date. Neither, by itself, tells you what a buyer will pay today.
How should an analyst use the data?
Suppose a portfolio spreadsheet shows two addresses for what looks like one apartment community. Before comparing values, check the parcel identifiers, buildings covered and dates. One row might cover a single parcel while the other covers an entire site. Ask whether a field is observed, inferred or modeled, how often it is updated and whether your license permits the intended use. That discipline matters when selecting a real estate benchmark or combining property records across systems.
