Hi HN! A few years ago, I had a tough time buying a home in a competitive market where listings were scarce. I kept wondering—why isn’t there a simple way to contact a homeowner directly to ask if they’re interested in selling? So a friend and I built Hown, an app that lets buyers message any homeowner, creating a way to buy and sell houses outside the real estate market (sorry, US only for now). The app is for: -Homeowners who might be open to selling but aren’t ready to list. -Buyers who want to express interest in homes before they hit the market. -House enthusiasts who just enjoy…

We're a small team of 3 engineers, and wanted to make a better way to look for for properties online. Traditional portals (esp. outside of US) are just a bit rubbish for doing anything other than basic searching. So we've: - Created a crawler that reads through estate agents websites to find homes for sale - Parses that through a series of LLMs and other models to understand each home in depth (e.g. floor type, location, total sqft) - Parses every photo through an embeddings vector space so that people can search for whatever they want.

Hey everyone, I build a Chrome Extension for real estate investors to be able to easily calculate the cash flow of a rental property right within Zillow. As an aspiring real estate investor, I found spreadsheets and proprietary online calculators like Bigger Pockets to be complicated or slow. With Homescope, you can bring this within your workflow and estimate your operating expenses instantly.

Hi HN! At Open Listings, we build technology to make buying a house simpler and more affordable. Ultimately, we want to make buying a house as simple as clicking a button. Our core technology is really our transaction process. While we also provide some shopping tools for house hunters, we recognize that people don’t just use 1 site when they’re searching for a home. In the spirit of supporting our clients even if they’er shopping on other sites, we made a “buy button” that we hope will work anywhere. When you click, it looks for address and MLS# on your current page and fills them in on our…

Hey HN, I love scrolling through Zillow and spend way too much time thinking a property is gonna be my next home just to find a couple of days of research later what’s the catch. I built this property analyzer to get a quick overview of “the good, the bad, and the ugly” (love spaghetti westerns) for the property. In ~30-45s you get a pretty comprehensive analysis of the history, risks, and everything else about the property, on top of a short AI-generated podcast going over the details. Users can also comment on properties (a feature I always wish I had on Zillow) and guess the final sale…

I just launched my first startup and need feedbacks from HN on how to grow a video classified ads website. We're focusing on helping people advertising their second hand stuff via videos instead of photos. Any suggestions are appreciated. http://www.123exchanges - Connecting buyers and sellers with video.
