New Releases & Updates
The first quarter of 2024 saw a continuation of trends that we have been witnessing for the past few years, specifically an increased adoption of artificial intelligence, process automation and data-driven solutions to help streamline workflows and bring more efficiency to the real estate industry as a whole. We are particularly excited by this theme, given it aligns perfectly with HouseCanary’s core roots and vision: harnessing the power of automation and data-driven methodologies to help solve our clients’ problems. The first quarter was emblematic of that core theme. - Ketan Bhalla, SVP of Product
API Updates
We’ve made several enhancements and improvements to our core Data Explorer API, including the ability to:
- Determine a historical value for a given property at a client-specified date in the past
- Retrieve advanced property attributes that have been enhanced by HouseCanary’s data pipelines
- Estimate annual HOA fees for properties using HouseCanary's proprietary algorithms
- Generate value forecasts up to 36 months into the future
We’ve also made several improvements that allow for a deep integration into Property Explorer via API, allowing clients to natively create, edit and retrieve reports with their own digital ecosystems.
ComeHome Updates
We’ve also introduced several new enhancements to the ComeHome product, and our ComeHome Partner API, including new functionality allowing for visitors to interact with loan officers and agents via our “Your Team” feature, advanced Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) and oAuth support for streamlined authentication, and advanced analytics retrieval for full transparency into key conversion events. We’ve also continued to make enhancements to the features aimed at the Community Reinvestment Act, allowing our lender partners to more easily highlight properties that may be grant-eligible.
Portfolio Monitoring
We’ve continued investing in our Portfolio Monitoring solution, introducing new programmatic functionality and asset triggers that allow users to proactively monitor their portfolio for changes in valuation and listing status, to name a few. We’ve also introduced the ability to alert users when a notice of default has been associated with an asset in your portfolio, enabling real-time updates about potential portfolio issues. By leveraging HouseCanary’s core data and analytics, we allow customers to have full visibility into portfolio risk and proactively alert users when changes occur.
Overall Platform Enhancements
We introduced native support within the HouseCanary platform, creating a customer-centric experience with the ability to send messages to our Support team, check our Status Page, and quickly access our Help Center and FAQs. Requests sent directly to Support@housecanary.com are integrated as well, providing a user quick access to their complete list of interactions and tickets with our Support team.
Refreshed Website
Earlier this month, we unveiled our newly-redesigned website with a refreshed interface that is designed to optimize a visitor’s experience. Whether browsing the site as a potential client or more familiar customer, visitors will be able to easily understand HouseCanary’s story, our unique product offerings and what differentiates us as a true client partner.
New features include an added blog section that will offer exclusive insights from HouseCanary executives and team members, optimized structure to allow visitors to fluidly navigate the site and a category-based search feature that will enable visitors to sort products based on their industry.
