OffMarket App: Documenting Homes Amid Economic Uncertainty and Climate Risks

Documenting Homes for Insurance and Rebuilding

• 🏠 Homeowners are increasingly documenting their homes due to an uncertain economy and concerns about natural disasters.
• 💡 The OffMarket app allows users to easily document their homes, inside and out, providing helpful evidence for insurance claims.
• ⚠️ Details like molding and kitchen quality are crucial for rebuilding efforts, especially after events like wildfires.

Climate Change and Home Buying Decisions

• 🌍 A recent survey indicates that 56% of millennials consider climate change impacts when choosing regions and homes.
• 📈 While natural disasters are a concern, the app's inspiration stemmed from identifying a market opportunity.

OffMarket App: Creating a New Real Estate Marketplace

• 🔑 The app aims to create a more efficient marketplace by aggregating national public data on homes.
• ✉️ Users can reach out to owners with a "knock," which generates a postcard, facilitating communication about potential sales or purchases.
• 🚀 The app will be fully active in two months, enabling homeowners to document their properties for insurance, offers, or personal record-keeping.
• 🏙️ The concept was highlighted in a report from Manhattan, featuring Tanya Rivero of Channel 7 Eyewitness News.
