Recent Realtor.com product and data launches often saw flat-to-negative next-day reactions, even when the news itself was constructive.
Over the past few weeks, News Corp has issued several Realtor.com updates, including AI-powered RealAssist and multiple housing market reports. These have highlighted buyer demand, easing supply constraints in regions like the Northeast and Midwest, and a four-year high in spring contract signings. Price reactions were mixed, with some positive housing activity coinciding with modest gains and AI-related launches seeing small declines. Today’s My Home dashboard upgrade extends that product-innovation trend within the Realtor.com ecosystem.

New buyer demand signals and buying power integration gives homeowners an exclusive intelligence hub to understand, manage, and unlock the full potential of their home.
"Homeownership has always come with big questions, but until now the answers have been scattered across different tools, sites and conversations," said Dave Herman, SVP of Product and AI Innovation at Realtor.com®. "Many people track other major financial assets like retirement accounts, stocks and high-yield savings accounts daily, yet do not track one of their largest financial assets, their homes. My Home brings it all together giving homeowners the financial clarity and local market knowledge to make truly informed decisions in one place."
One Dashboard, Whatever Your Next Move
The questions homeowners face are deeply personal and rarely one-size-fits-all: 'I've owned my home for five years, is now a good time to sell?' 'What could my home earn as a rental?' 'I'm thinking about renovating, where do I start?' My Home is built to meet homeowners wherever they are, providing real data to answer whatever question is on their mind.
Only on Realtor.com®: New Tools to Understand and Act on Your Home
Realtor.com® has been building out the My Home dashboard for years — homeowners already use it to track their RealEstimate℠ Home valuation, explore renovation ideas, and estimate potential earnings from short-term Airbnb rentals or long-term leases via Avail. Now two new features take the experience further, helping homeowners move from simply watching their data to acting on it with confidence:
- Buyer Demand Signals: Most homeowners have no idea how much real interest their home could generate. For any claimed home, My Home now surfaces market views, saves, and inquiries on similarly priced nearby homes, giving homeowners a real sense of how their home might perform if listed today.
- Buying Power: Knowing a home's value is only half the equation. Buying Power connects existing equity to what a homeowner can realistically afford next. It factors in a variety of selling costs from repairs and renovations to transfer taxes to show what the next move actually looks like.
Local Intelligence for Local Decisions
Understanding what to do next and acting with confidence also means having a clear understanding of your local market. While national housing headlines often dominate the conversation, real estate is fundamentally local. My Home surfaces the specific, local intelligence homeowners need to make confident decisions about timing and pricing in their own market.
Within the dashboard, homeowners can track:
- Median Listing Prices over time in their specific zip code.
- Median Days on Market to understand how fast inventory is moving.
- Median Price per Square Foot to benchmark their home's value against neighbors.
For those needing deeper analysis, the dashboard links directly to a comprehensive Market Overview for their specific zip code, providing a full breakdown of local inventory and economic trends.
Availability
The relaunched My Home is available today across Realtor.com® desktop, mobile web, iOS, and Android to all homeowners who claim their home on Realtor.com®. Claiming is free and takes minutes.
