In a computer-implemented method of detecting real estate development construction activity for insurance purposes, first image data corresponding to a first set of one or more images of a geographic area is received. The first image data may be processed to determine at least one characteristic of the geographic area. Based upon the at least one characteristic of the geographic area, it may be determined that real estate development construction activity is occurring at a site at least partially within the geographic area. In response to determining that real estate development construction activity is occurring at the site, an alert indicative of a new real estate development may be provided.
