House Statistics: Property Intelligence & Home Search Tracker
tips_and_updates The 5 Morning Sparks
Someone's home, with roof and a few wallsHouse Plan from Photos
I think this is a difficult project to pull off, but there must be a point at which adding a bit more easy to acquire data allows for creating a decent plan, and combining it with a refinement editor to Polish it off.
AI Home redesigner
Either photos or a 3d render of a home from Photos (I've seen someone do this in Astra), combined with AI which can change elements of the environment the user selects.
Smart home inventory
There is an opportunity for AI in creating skills for the smart home, but the first step is registering the devices and creating a database for them. This idea exists already, I am sure, and this would be an opinionated clone that makes it AI first.
Campter Van fitouts
Create a scraper for Camper Van photos to inspire and allow exploring. It could be linked to instructions, descriptions, etc and have a vector database to make it a really powerful search engine. Maximum amount of meta tagging and good taxonomies are welcome
House statistics
A lot of websites repurpose available statistics to sell a product for home buyers. But they don't do it the way I would prefer, even if I pay. So if I am interested in a specific home, can I check it out on property websites, council records, criminal records, school, environmental, etc. to produce a report for me?
How It Was Built With AI in 4.5 Hours
Step 1
Chose Idea 5 and fleshed out the spec around scraping and free APIs
Step 2
Decided on a standalone repo, dlt, duckdb, and ad hoc portal checks instead of mass scraping
Step 3
Spun up repo, fixed 3.14 segfaults, and added OSRM walking distance and crime per capita
Step 4
Fixed Cloudflare blocks with browser TLS impersonation and extracted full listing metadata
Step 5
Added home search portfolio tracker, market status verification, criteria scoring, and heuristic valuation
What Rocked
- ✓It span out a new codebase almost instantly, with a decent first pass
- ✓Open heuristic valuation and live URL metadata auto-population worked smoothly without heavy dependencies
What Broke & Fixed
- ✗Multiple turns over dlt, not actually using a good structure for dlt
- ✗Zoopla Cloudflare anti-bot checks blocked standard requests until switching to TLS impersonation
