Real property monitoring systems and methods
Systems and methods of the present disclosure include receiving an aerial image that includes a view of property (e.g., real property, personal property, or other types of property), automatically identifying the property included in the aerial image, automatically determining one or more characteristics of the property based at least in part on the aerial image, and automatically adjusting an insurance policy term for an insurance policy relating to the property based at least in part on the one or more characteristics of the property. Certain embodiments include automatically determining the one or more characteristics of the property also based at least in part on data received from one or more smart home devices associated with the property, one or more public records relating to the property, a supplemental image accessed from a camera located in or around the property, and so forth.

determining, via the property characteristic determination system, a recommendation relating to the real estate property based at least in part on the first aerial image or the second aerial image and based at least in part on the data relating to the resource usage information for the real estate property detected by the one or more smart home devices associated with the real estate property; and
communicating, via the property characteristic determination system, the recommendation to an owner of the real estate property via provision of instructions to an application being executed on an owner device associated with the owner.
7. A system, comprising:
a camera configured to capture a first aerial image that includes a view of a real estate property; and
a property characteristic determination system comprising a processor configured to execute instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
identify the real estate property included in the first aerial image;
access a second aerial image from an aerial image database;
format the first aerial image or the second aerial image to align one or more physical features captured by the first aerial image and the second aerial image;
receive data relating to resource usage information for the real estate property detected by one or more smart home devices associated with the real estate property, wherein the resource usage information for the real estate property comprises water usage, electricity usage, changes in temperature, or some combination thereof, occurring at certain locations relative to the real estate property; and
determine one or more changes that have occurred to the real estate property based at least in part on a comparison of the first aerial image to the second aerial image and based at least in part on a correlation of the first and second aerial images to the data relating to the resource usage information for the real estate property detected by the one or more smart home devices associated with the real estate property.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to automatically adjust an insurance policy term for an insurance policy relating to the real estate property based at least in part on the one or more changes that have occurred to the real estate property.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to automatically send a notification of the one or more changes that have occurred to the real estate property to an application being executed on a user computing device associated with an owner of the real estate property.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
access data relating to one or more public records relating to the real estate property; and
determine the one or more changes that have occurred to the real estate property based at least in part on the data relating to the one or more public records relating to the real estate property.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
access a supplemental image from an additional camera located in or around the real estate property; and
determine the one or more changes that have occurred to the real estate property based at least in part on the supplemental image.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

13. A method, comprising:
accessing, via a property characteristic determination system, a first aerial image from an aerial image database, wherein the first aerial image includes a first view of a real estate property;
receiving, via the property characteristic determination system, a second aerial image that includes a second view of the real estate property;
