NeighborhoodMatch enhances homeseekers’ neighborhood search

Looking for a new home can be challenging for homebuyers, particularly those who are relocating to an unfamiliar area. NeighborhoodMatch simplifies this process by helping users discover and compare neighborhoods that meet their lifestyle needs while remaining within their budget.

Using NeighborhoodMatch, brokerages can re-engage homeseekers by helping them quickly find neighborhoods that are similar to those they’re considering and better understand which one best aligns with their needs. The similarity between neighborhoods is measured based on demographics, housing features, and Location Scores.

What’s included in NeighborhoodMatch?

NeighborhoodMatch

Matched neighborhoods and scores

Homeseekers see up to eight nearby neighborhoods with similar characteristics and can easily compare them based on top-ranking Local Logic scores, such as pedestrian friendliness and transit accessibility. In addition, these scores are prominently displayed, making it easy for potential homebuyers to determine how closely these neighborhoods fit their preferences.

Affordability Index

Homeseekers can determine whether similar neighborhoods are more or less affordable than the one they’re viewing, allowing them to identify locations within their budget range. The Affordability Index* quickly shows whether property prices in these neighborhoods are within, above, or below budget, based on reliable median sale price data.

* Note: This feature is only available in the US.

Neighborhood imagery

Brokerages can customize each neighborhood with its own thumbnail image to ensure that the neighborhood is accurately represented.

Neighborhood filtering and linking

NeighborhoodMatch allows real estate professionals to filter and link directly to their own listings, keeping potential buyers within their sales funnel.
