Nextdoor Debuts Your Home Portal

Jun 26, 2019

Nextdoor, a ZIP code-based social network, has introduced Your Home, an online portal designed to offer the user an overview of their home’s value and how local real estate trends impact the value.

According to the San Francisco-based company, Your Home’s features include a Home Sale Calculator that estimates the profit that could be made if the property was sold today, data that provides sales activities on other homes in the neighborhood, and an overview on local housing market values and conditions that are designed to help the user determine the best time to buy or sell. The portal also connects the user with local real estate agents via a “Talk to an Expert” feature.

“We are thrilled to expand our real estate offerings and give our members a more comprehensive look into their valuable asset: their home,” said Nick Brinkerhoff, communications manager at Nextdoor.
