HouseWeCan - Afford your dream house - designed for remote workers

Remote jobs have unchained us from big, expensive cities. We hunt for friendly communities that remote workers love - with great internet, schools & coffee shops. Every week, we curate incredible homes that you can actually afford (between $200k to $699k).

With our growing families and children arriving, we both started thinking about finding bigger living spaces. Even with a good salary, it's nearly impossible to put a downpayment on + afford a home in Los Angeles. We knew that with remote jobs "where we live" and "where we work" no longer needed to be chained together. So, we started researching & found that homes in surrounding regions are half the cost for double the size. For those of us living in major cities like LA, SF, NYC, Chicago, DC, etc., the idea of owning a home felt like it was out of reach - it felt like the American Dream had slipped away. But now, it feels a lot closer :) Right now, we have a sampling of homes (forest, beach, ski, desert, wine country, etc.) that we’ve curated for the ProductHunt community. However, within 3 months, we plan to expand the number of curated properties on our site by 10x. Please ask us questions, join the conversation & provide feedback!!

Great homes 👍 given that my wife and I work remote, we're now exploring buying a home outside of the city. Will def bookmark housewecan for our search

Loving the idea that I can search by “beach, forest, lake, ski, wine country, etc.”!! Prices are insanely cheap compared to big city prices

@jairaromero thanks - we love the idea of categories...most people dream of areas that they feel more at peace with (beach, forest, lake, etc.)

Awesome concept!! I live in SoCal and the outrageous real estate prices make buying a house seem impossible. Housewecan makes buying a house seem possible again! 🤯

Prices are great - been thinking about what my fiancé & I are going to do in the next couple years...renting a 1 bedroom isn’t sustainable for a family!

Since I have a remote job, I can live anyplace and being able to easily navigate to price and specific kinds of locations is ideal for my home research!

I am living in DC and working remotely and love this idea. It would be great to see a list of local places that I can afford so I can start to make the transition from renting to buying!
