AI can tell you a lot about a home. Here's what it can't tell you:

🏠 Condition — of the home, or of the homes its price comparisons are built on

🌳 Feel — how a street actually lives at rush hour or on a Saturday morning

🏫 School lines — one side of a street can feed a different school than the other

📍 Position — a corner lot and a spot deep in the cul-de-sac aren't the same value

Does home search now start with AI?

For a lot of buyers, it already does. Instead of setting filters and scrolling for hours, they're just asking: "Find me a home near a park, with room for my in-laws, under my budget." And they're getting real answers back.

It works better than most people expect — the early part of a search has never moved faster. But there are things these tools can't tell you about a home, and they're usually the things that matter most.

This month's post covers both sides.
