Timhyer··on Ask HN: Definitive source for real estate statistics?
My company, Trusty, is designed to bring transparency and unbiased opinions to real estate. Our tagline is "real estate made real" through crowdsourced insights and some refer to us as a "Social Zillow" since we encourage conversation about specific homes, neighborhoods, and the market in general. All of this community content creates a Wikipedia-style database that rivals the long-standing MLS monopoly as the source of truth for housing information, both on and off-market.

We're disrupting residential real estate in 3 key ways:

1) More transparency Trusty is like a "Yelp for real estate" where the community rates, reviews, adds price estimates and other user-generated content to houses.

2) More data Through UGC, we’re building a Wikipedia-style database that is evergreen and houses both quantitative and qualitative data, the latter of which has never been available through the MLS or any other real estate portal.

3) More options With all our user commentary and data, people can discover and make pre-emptive offers on any home, whether it’s for sale or not.

We launched in California and have UGC on 3,000+ properties in NorCal with an emphasis on Sacramento and Marin County. But our community covers 90% of the state of CA so feel free to login and ask questions about any property you find and someone will likely chime in with their opinion.

Since it sounds like you have some specific needs, I'd be happy to connect 1:1 to see how we may be able to assist with your real estate endeavors. Our passion is helping people just like you find the unbiased truth when it comes to real estate. That's why we named the company Trusty. Reach out anytime.
