Following its launch in Toronto in 2018 and subsequent expansion into British Columbia, HouseSigma now provides Calgarians and residents of other rural Alberta markets with access to market insights.
The platform provides users with real-time market information, including sold property data, complete sold price history, and the ability to request updates on new listings and sold properties for specific communities, customized areas or property types.
The inspiration behind HouseSigma came from the personal experience of its CEO and co-founder, Joseph Zeng, who encountered limited access to real estate data while purchasing his first home.
“Looking back to when I was buying my first home, I remember grappling with a lack of accessible, comprehensive real estate data. This personal frustration wasn’t just a challenge but an inspiration that became HouseSigma. I created the tool I wish I had when I was looking for my first home,” says Zeng.
Since its launch, HouseSigma has gained popularity among Canadian millennials, becoming a trusted resource for real estate information.
Michael Carney, the director of business development at HouseSigma, expressed enthusiasm about serving the Alberta marketplace, particularly in Calgary.
“Migration into Alberta, low inventory, and affordability concerns have created a difficult market for buyers,” Carey acknowledges. “Our commitment to transparency is at the core of our vision as we aim to become the homepage of real estate in Canada.”
HouseSigma’s platform also includes historical pictures of MLS listings, providing users with insights into a property’s past transactions and renovations.
