Overview

This video, a collaboration between Redfin and Rocket Mortgage, emphasizes the importance and beauty of neighborly connections. It uses song and imagery to convey a heartwarming message about community and the desire to have supportive neighbors.

Key takeaways

• The video highlights the positive aspects of having good neighbors and the sense of community they create.
• It conveys a desire for neighborly relationships, suggesting that such connections enrich life.
• The theme revolves around making the most of one's neighborhood and embracing the spirit of togetherness.
• The song lyrics and visuals evoke a feeling of warmth and belonging associated with being a good neighbor.

Let's analyze the previous clues to predict the final filter-based question.

1. "Neighborliness happens from the ground up." - This suggests a focus on the "ground" or foundation, possibly relating to lot size or square footage. The answer "Neighborhood Market" doesn't directly use a filter but implies a community-focused location, often found in residential areas.

2. "The writing is on the wall for this next clue. Look for a poster where four neighbors meet." - The answer "A poster with Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico on them" points to a geographical location. This could relate to a state or a region, but none of the filters directly address states. However, knowing the region might influence other filters (e.g., typical lot sizes in that area).

3. "Where one family finds their nest, you can find yours. This clue will help save the date and find the right state." - The answer "A poster with the Colorado state bird, the Lark Bunting on it" reinforces Colorado. "Save the date" could hint at a year. The filter "Year built" is available.

4. "What is your next move? Look for a sign and make the right call." - The answer "There was a phone number on the for sale sign. When you put it in, it gives you the area code of the northern Colorado area (303)" confirms Colorado and narrows down the location. Area codes can sometimes correlate with general housing characteristics, but it's not a direct filter.

5. "Calling all steganographers. To find the right bike score, look where the rubber meets the road." - The answer "On the bike it has the word sixty on it. You had to change the 'Bike score' in the filters for Redfin to 60" directly uses the "Bike score" filter and locks it at 60.

Analysis of Available Filters and Past Clues:

• Beds (locked in at 4+) & Baths (locked in at 4+): These are already set.
• Bike Score (locked in at 60): This is also set.
• Colorado: Clues 3 and 4 strongly suggest Colorado. This doesn't directly map to a filter but sets the context.
• "Ground up" (Clue 1): Could relate to Lot Size or Square Feet.
• "Save the date" (Clue 3): Could relate to Year Built.
• "Nest" / "Family" (Clue 3): Could imply a certain size of home, possibly related to Square Feet, or even the number of stories.
• "Writing is on the wall" / "Poster" (Clue 2): Suggests looking at visual elements within the video for hints.

Predictions for the Final Filter-Based Question:

Considering the existing clues and available filters, here are my predictions for the final question:

1. Lot Size: The "ground up" clue could lead to a requirement for a minimum lot size. Given it's a competition, it might be a specific, slightly larger-than-average lot size for a desirable home.
2. Year Built: The "save the date" hint, combined with the Colorado context, could point to a specific era of construction. Perhaps a newer build, or a specific vintage home that's still desirable.
3. Square Feet: Similar to lot size, "nest" and "family" could imply a minimum square footage for a comfortable family home.
4. Stories: A family home might suggest more than one story, or a specific number of stories.

Most Likely Candidates:

• Lot Size: This feels very plausible given the "ground up" hint and the general idea of a desirable home.
• Year Built: "Save the date" is a strong hint towards a year.

Let's assume the competition is looking for a home that is:

• In Colorado.
• Has at least 4 beds and 4 baths.
• Has a Bike Score of 60.

The final clue might be a visual element or a phrase that points to one of the remaining filters.

If the final clue was something like:

• "Where the foundations are strong and roots run deep..." - This would strongly point to Lot Size.
• "A home with history, built to last..." - This would point to Year Built.
• "Plenty of room for the whole family to spread out..." - This would point to Square Feet.

I am ready to analyze the final clue when you provide it.

Based on my analysis of the video transcript and the competition clues provided so far, here are some elements that could be related to future filter-based clues, keeping in mind the available filters:

1. Visuals of the Neighborhood and Houses:

   • The video shows a pleasant, well-maintained neighborhood. The houses depicted appear to be single-family homes, generally of a decent size. There's an emphasis on outdoor space (implied by "beautiful day," "neighborhood"). This visual aspect could inform Lot Size or Square Feet.

2. The Song Lyrics and Themes:

   • "It's a beautiful day in my neighborhood." / "Beautiful day for a neighbor." / "It's a neighborly day in this beauty.": This reinforces the idea of community and attractive living spaces. It doesn't point to a specific filter but sets a positive tone for desirable home features.
   • "Big storm coming in.": This is a bit metaphorical. In a real estate context, it could relate to resilience, or perhaps something about the structure or age of a home. This might subtly hint at Year Built (older homes might be seen as less resilient to modern needs) or even structural aspects like Stories (e.g., needing a multi-story home for a better view or more space).
   • "I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you." / "I've always wanted to live in the neighborhood with you." / "So, let's make the most of this beautiful mine." / "Won't you be my neighbor?": These lines emphasize desire for connection and making the most of one's surroundings. "Making the most of this beautiful mine" could imply maximizing space or features. This could indirectly relate to Square Feet or Lot Size.

3. The Collaboration (Redfin x Rocket Mortgage):

   • Redfin is a real estate brokerage platform, so filters like Beds, Baths, Square Feet, Lot Size, Stories, Year Built, Garage Spots, Outdoor Parking, AC, Walk Score, Transit Score, and Bike Score are directly relevant to their search interface.
   • Rocket Mortgage is a lender. While less directly tied to visual filters, their involvement reinforces the context of buying a home.

Synthesizing with Available Filters and Previous Clues:

• Beds/Baths (4+): Locked in.
• Bike Score (60): Locked in.
• Colorado: Confirmed by clues 3 & 4.

Potential Filter Hints within the Video Content (highly speculative without direct visual cues):

• Lot Size / Square Feet: The overall feeling of a pleasant, spacious neighborhood and the desire to "make the most of this beautiful mine" could suggest a need for a generous lot size or ample square footage. If there were visuals of large yards or spacious homes, this would be a stronger indicator.
• Year Built: The "save the date" clue was a good hint towards this. While the song itself doesn't directly reference time, the idea of a desirable neighborhood could imply homes built in a certain desirable period (e.g., not too old, not brand new, but something in between).

What I am NOT seeing (that would be useful):

• Any specific numbers related to square footage, lot size, or year built within the spoken lyrics or visible text (apart from the "sixty" for bike score).
• Visuals clearly highlighting specific lot dimensions or house sizes.

My best guess for the type of clue that might be coming, based on the previous ones and the filters:

Given that Beds, Baths, and Bike Score are locked, and Colorado is established, the remaining filters to be targeted are:

• Square feet (min and max)
• Lot size (min and max)
• Stories (min and max)
• Year built (min and max)
• Exclude 55+ communities (true or false)
• Garage spot (Any, 1, 1.5+, 2, 3, 4+)
• Include outdoor parking (true or false)
• Air conditioning (true or false)

The previous clues have been quite literal (writing on the wall, phone number, word on a bike). The "save the date" for Year Built was the most abstract.

Therefore, a future clue might:

• Visually point to a number: e.g., a number on a house, a sign, a calendar element.
• Use a phrase related to space: e.g., "room to grow," "spacious retreat."
• Use a phrase related to age/time: e.g., "established charm," "modern convenience."
• Reference parking: e.g., "room for all the vehicles," "covered convenience."
• Reference AC: e.g., "staying cool."

Without more direct visual or textual cues in the transcript beyond the song lyrics, it's hard to pinpoint a specific filter for sure. The video's focus is very much on the feeling of neighborliness. However, the "ground up" hint for lot size and "save the date" for year built are the strongest leads for specific filters.

Let me know the final clue when you have it!
