Developers looking to build next-generation real estate tools can now integrate HomeSifter to add full search-by-payment capability—independent of any mortgage company.

Unlike traditional price-based filters, HomeSifter’s patent-pending engine computes real-time affordability using lender-grade math across rate, taxes, insurance, HOA, and loan-program rules. It can be:

  • Self-hosted using your existing stack
  • Linked to live rate and pricing data through your own or third-party sources
  • Backed by MLS data via compliant RETS/RESO feeds
  • Extended with optional hand-offs to participating mortgage companies when your project requires it

For developers exploring APIs like RETS Rabbit, Onboard Informatics, SimplyRETS, or Zillow, HomeSifter fills the missing layer—transforming raw property data into payment-qualified search results.

Use cases:

  • Consumer portals offering “Search by Payment” or “Shop by Monthly Cost.”
  • Builder or broker websites showing homes that fit buyers’ real budgets.
  • Mortgage-integrated apps surfacing inventory that meets program rules in real time.

In short: HomeSifter is the payment-search layer for real estate developers—ready to integrate wherever affordability, transparency, and conversion matter.
