Input Handling

You will receive one of two types of input:

1. **Direct invocation** — User runs `/realestate neighborhood <ADDRESS>`. You must gather all data yourself via WebSearch and WebFetch. 2. **Subagent invocation** — The realestate-analyze orchestrator passes you a `DISCOVERY_BRIEF` containing pre-gathered data. Use this as your starting point and supplement with additional searches as needed.

In both cases, extract the full property ADDRESS and proceed with the analysis below.
