I created https://www.howmuchrent.com last Friday to help bring this kind of transparency to Ireland, allowing people to submit their rents. Would love to get any HN feedback on the idea/website.

historically, rentals in NYC have been pretty wild. the median 1BR in West Village as of July 2025 cost $5,750/month. about a month ago, NYC passed a law to ban broker fees which many predicted would have increased rents. I realized I had access to some original data from a previous project so I built a dashboard to help me visualize the changes and see for myself. you can filter by neighborhoods, bedrooms, original source where the rentals were posted, and select a timeframe. this is still a work in progress, so apologies in advance for any issues you encounter. I would love any…

Hey HN! After spending years watching my community get pushed out of my neighborhood in NYC due to rising rents, I built Realer Estate to find the undervalued homes that actually exist in NYC's impossible housing market so people can find the homes that they can actually afford. The platform uses AI to: - Detect rent-stabilized listings even when landlords don't label them (using NLP + pricing anomalies) - Score properties on price-to-market ratios using real-time comps - Filter out investor-targeted flips to prioritize real people - Scrape live data from StreetEasy/Redfin and update…

Hi HN, I built Own or Rent (https://ownorent.com) after getting frustrated with existing rent vs. buy calculators that hide assumptions and use confusing jargon. What's different: - 100% transparent calculations - no hidden fees or confusing math - Results in under 5 minutes without lengthy forms - Public REST API for developers building financial apps or LLM integrations - Clear breakdown of mortgage payments, taxes, maintenance, and opportunity costs The API is particularly useful for chatbots, financial advisory platforms, or any app that needs reliable rent vs. buy…

Hi HN, I built AffordWhere to answer a question I kept running into: “If I earn X, where can I actually afford to live comfortably?” The site lets you compare cities based on income, rent, taxes, and day-to-day costs, and see how far a salary realistically goes in each place. It’s intentionally simple: Focused on affordability rather than averages Designed for relocation and remote-work decisions No account required I’d appreciate feedback on: Whether the affordability framing is useful Missing cost factors you’d expect Data accuracy or methodology concerns Link:…
