HouseMe.ai, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered real estate search platform, launched in the US on Wednesday. It went live in soft-launch markets across Washington, DC, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and West Virginia. The platform connects directly to MLS data in all seven markets, with a nationwide rollout to follow.
The further expansion builds on a strong debut in Canada where the platform quickly became one of Toronto’s most-used real estate tools.
Leading the US launch is Nurit Coombe, Co-Founder of HouseMe.ai and Managing Partner of The Agency DC Metro. Nurit ranks number 20 among all agents nationally and number one in Maryland on RealTrends’ The Thousand, one of the industry’s most competitive rankings, and has closed more than $2bn in career sales.
Nuri is leading the platform’s into her home market with Co-Founders Peter Torkan a luxury broker in Canada and a star of Amazon’s Luxe Listings Toronto – and Paige Torkan, broker of record at The Agency Toronto.
“No one has ever been able to search for real estate this way. This is a fundamentally new category, using AI and real data to let buyers, sellers and agents customise their search around exactly what they need. Buyers don’t just want a listing anymore; they want to search for the lifestyle they seek.”

HouseMe.ai searches by lifestyle. Its natural-language engine lets buyers describe what they want, then returns listings matched to that intent. For example, Nurit said consumers can search homes for various things.
“A park nearby, a top-rated school within walking distance, a yard big enough for the dog, a kitchen that’s already renovated, a pool, whatever matters to them. It reads intent, not just square footage. Bringing that to the US market, and to my own backyard, is the opportunity of a lifetime.”

HouseMe.ai launched in the Greater Toronto Area in June 2026 and within three weeks of its Canadian launch the platform had drawn over 40,000 unique visitors. Paige, HouseMe’s AI assistant, saw over 15,000 listings viewed, adding up to over 300,000 total platform interactions.
“That momentum is the foundation for the US expansion. It’s the reason we’re moving to a nationwide footprint, starting with the mid-Atlantic corridor.”

HouseMe.ai’s other tools include a visual renovation engine which allows users upload a photo of any room and generate a before-and-after, like swapping flooring, updating a kitchen, clearing clutter, it can even digitally remove snow from a garden.
For sellers, capital improvements can be tested using the tool with comps to gauge what a renovation could return. For buyers, a property’s potential can be viewed and not just its present condition.
HouseMe.ai searches also produced an ‘Intelligence Report’. At its foundation is the True Cost Calculator, which breaks down the full cost to close. The AI Investment Thesis provides a broker-level analysis of each property, such as financial summaries, key highlights and a plain-language read on possible risks.
The report also mentions the AI Valuation Score, a public 0-10 fair-value rating assigned to every active listing. Coupled with a Negotiation Strategy tool that generates data-backed offer recommendations based on days on market, comparable sales and local conditions, HouseMe.ai mentions it gives buyers an advantage on how they evaluate and approach each opportunity.
Finally the report has the Area Market Pulse, with neighbourhood data on pricing trends, inventory and market conditions, plus a conversational AI interface which can answer questions about any listing in 97 languages.
