Home valuation fintech company HouseCanary, Inc. closed a $65 million growth funding round led by Morpheus Ventures, Alpha Edison, and PSP Growth, HouseCanary announced in a press release. The funding brings HouseCanary’s total funding to $130 million.
Since its founding in 2013, HouseCanary said that it has created the most accurate residential real estate valuations, with a 2.5 percent median absolute percentage error for 106 million US residential properties nationwide. By focusing on helping its customers grow and scale their businesses, HouseCanary doubled revenue in each of the last two years and its pace of growth is accelerating for 2020, the release stated.
By working directly with institutional investors, HouseCanary already powers more than $200 million in real estate transactions each month.
Through partnerships with leading financial institutions, HouseCanary’s ComeHome platform will enable consumers to close on more than $100 billion of real estate transactions this year.
“This latest round of funding will allow HouseCanary to continue to build the most accurate valuations in the housing market, continue to build our world-class team to accelerate development and broad market adoption of HouseCanary, and invest in our leading-edge technology,” HouseCanary co-founder and CEO Jeremy Sicklick said in the release. “Reliably automating home valuations replaces a two-to three-week human appraisal process with instant, actionable valuations at a fraction of the price. Consumers and institutional investors buying homes as well as financial institutions providing mortgages demand this, and we power it across America’s housing market.”
HouseCanary said it has built its reputation on developing unique analytics for the $30.7 trillion residential real estate market, based on big data and refined through machine learning.
Offering its clients a customer engagement platform that provides unparalleled insights into properties across the United States puts HouseCanary on track to reshape the residential real estate marketplace, the release said.
“We invest in disruptive companies that are innovative and creative in how they tackle the changing landscape,” said Joseph Miller, managing partner with Morpheus. “Through their proven software and data driven technology HouseCanary is streamlining real estate transactions and changing the future of the industry.”
