“Best Shot” Sun + Shadow Planner

MLS-neutral timing + interactive shadows using OSM building footprints.

Property address
Pick the correct result from the dropdown. Then the map + times will update.
Front-facing direction

Set the front direction (outward from the front of the house toward the street). This drives the Best/Good schedule.

N
Date + time (shadows update live)
Recommended windows (14 days)
MLS-neutral means: avoid backlighting + avoid extreme low-angle shadows. This is based on sun position + your front direction (trees not modeled).
Enter an address to generate timing.
Interactive shadow view
Tip: click a building to re-select the subject if the wrong footprint is picked.
Mapbox OSM MLS-neutral
Limitations: tree shadows usually won’t appear (unless represented as 3D geometry). Footprints depend on OSM coverage.
