Trying a new idea: WishPlace. What if Homes Found You?

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a small project I ve been building in my free time. It s called WishPlace, and the idea came from something very common: we often see buildings where we would love to live, but we have no way to know if someone inside would actually sell or rent at a price we can afford.

WishPlace tries to flip this. Instead of monitoring dozens of websites, you save the places where you really want to live and set your basic requirements. Owners or Agencies can privately see the interest around their building and contact you when the moment is right, without spam and without sharing personal details until you choose to.

Hi, I’m Alessio and I’m building WishPlace

Hi everyone, I m Alessio. I live in Barcelona and I work as an Engineering Manager. In my free time I like to build small projects, usually starting from problems I see in everyday life and trying to solve them with quick prototypes.

I m now experimenting on an idea called WishPlace, an inverse housing market. Instead of checking dozens of listings, you save the buildings or streets where you would really like to live, and owners can see the interest and contact you privately when the moment is right. It is still a simple prototype, and whether it works or not, I will enjoy the journey and the things I will learn by trying.
