Camphor Property Search - AI-enhanced property search to improve homebuying

Homebuying is an incredibly personal experience. No two people will have the exact same criteria. With Camphor, you can search for properties by walkability, safety, and more beyond traditional criteria. We've launched in the Bay Area, CA and New York City!

Hey everyone, We started out building this product out of frustration of not being able to filter homes on Zillow, Redfin, Homes.com, Realtor.com, and really any other site based on custom attributes. For example, if I want to search for a home based on walkability or distance from schools or in neighborhoods with low crime, I can't do that with any of the existing property search engines out there. This is why we launched Camphor! Our belief is that the homebuying experience is highly personal. Every homebuyer is different. Some may be first time buyers, others may be investors, or may looking for a vacation home. In any of these cases, every buyer has intrinsic personal preferences that they care about which is unique to them. You can learn more about our thesis here: https://camphor.co/guides-and-ti... Camphor is leveraging LLMs to allow you to write a query in natural language format based on custom preferences. We're operating in public beta so some types of data such as zoning laws/restrictions are still being added in, but we encourage you to try writing a query like "Show me properties in Berkeley, CA between $1M and $1.4M that are in walkable neighborhoods and outside any wildfire danger zones." (Because wildfires are a big problem in northern California!) Our product currently works in the Bay Area, CA and New York City, NY. Appreciate any thoughts folks have on what we're building! :)

Oh, your product mostly works in in the SF Bay Area & NYC. I am also working in the sector of real estate, then will spend more time to check out your product! Wish you all the best for the launch!

@lamtoi that's right! We decided to launch in these two markets to start with. Out of curiosity, any other markets you are interested in?

@lamtoi got it! We're currently a US-based company so it may take some time before we choose to go international.

@rogeroba thanks for the feedback! Our plan is to keep this tool free to the majority of prospective homebuyers. We're currently working on a premium version of this product which we'll be making available to real estate agents, investors, and brokerages.

Congratulations Team Camphor Property Search on your launch! This is a fantastic solution for an age-old problem of property search. The way you guys incorporated factors like walkability and safety is really impressive. As a friendly enhancement suggestion, it could be great to add a feature where users can see estimated future property value trends based on localized real estate market data. Keep up the great work and I can't wait to start searching for houses in the Bay Area and NYC with Camphor!

Thanks everyone for the feedback! If anyone here is a potential homebuyer or involved in real estate in the Bay Area, NYC, or maybe a future market we might be entering, we have a product advisory group we made for anyone who is open to giving us recurring early feedback on product features as we launch them. You'll get a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the features we are implementing next before they go live! Fill out this form if you are interested: https://gp2ckgfrnbl.typeform.com...
