# Value Forecast

`GET /v2/block/value_ts_forecast`

This endpoint provides a forecast time series of monthly block-median data for dollar value and dollar value per sq ft. The values are forecast one year into the future. You can specify a desired property type using the `property_type` request parameter. The default is SFD. You can also specify the `order`, `limit`, `start`, and `end` request parameters. The `order` parameter determines the chronological order to sort result items. The `limit` parameter sets the maximum integer number of result items to return. The `start` and `end` parameters set the beginning and ending date limits for result items, respectively, based on month in ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2015-01-01).
