Real-time “BuyAbility” information shows shoppers homes within their budget, calculates their odds of getting financing, and provides even more technology news.
Editor’s note: Technology is the driving force behind real estate. From startups to established companies, technology companies are constantly innovating, growing, and building partnerships. Here are some of the latest news about companies that are helping advance the industry.
Zillow has announced a new tool designed to show prospective buyers the homes that fit within their budget and give them a real-time estimate of their monthly payments and loan eligibility.
The tool, called BuyAbility, uses real-time mortgage rate information from Zillow Home Loans and information homebuyers share about their income, credit score, savings and existing debt, the company said. It says it provides information that less robust mortgage calculators cannot provide. .
When searching for a home on the Zillow app (in all states except New York), listings that match a shopper’s “BuyAbility” are clearly marked.
“Mortgage rates are very high this year,” said Orpheus Divongi, senior economist at Zillow Home Loans. “But they could come down a little bit in the new year.” “Buyers will be in a stronger position to act quickly when the right home comes into BuyAbility, bringing them one step closer to the American dream of homeownership.”
