Inspiration
Real estate is an interesting market to us as it is one of the most important assets we buy in our lives. After some research, we found that the real estate market was not very transparent. A real estate agent is able to sell the best price for a house while also giving home buyers the best price as well. There is a contradiction in the real estate agents role, therefore we would like to fix this issue.
What it does
Our product looks at real estate properties and gives an estimated value based on location, size and number of rooms. This is then given to the user along with data against different properties
How we built it
We used an API from domain to get all properties prices and parameters. Afterwards, we used python to sort data and estimate values for the properties. Then, we used Flask to output the information to the web. The website was then built using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.
Challenges we ran into
The biggest challenge of this product was learning to use Flask to connect the backend to frontend. This was a new tool for us to learn and it was a difficult learning curve.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
We were proud to get the data to work and to get a working website
What we learned
We learned how to work as back ends and front ends in the project and how to connect our ideas together.
What's next for TruEstates
TruEstates could use more functions such as filtering data and allowing users to search properties.
