SANTA
CLARA, Calif., Sept. 9,
2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Today, Realtor.com® announced the launch of
Renovation Designer, a generative AI design tool powered by Hover,
a leader in residential 3D property data. Homeowners using
Realtor.com® can now instantly see realistic
visualizations of exterior and interior home renovations, with
actual materials and colors, before investing time and money into
making them a reality.
"Purchasing a home is one of the biggest decisions people will
make in their lifetime. When considering renovations, which require
both time and money, people should have the information they need
to make the best decision for their home," said Andrew Mattie, SVP Engineering,
Realtor.com®. "Through Renovation Designer, and the
power of AI, our users can make well-informed decisions concerning
their home renovations with confidence and limit unwanted
surprises, like a wall color gone wrong or a flooring choice that
doesn't turn out as expected. We want to enable people to create
the home of their dreams and love it."
Immediate Renovation Visualizations
Available
today, homeowners can access Renovation Designer by claiming their
home within My Home
on Realtor.com®. Once claimed, the
homeowner can upload photos of their home and suggest the changes
they want to make. The advanced artificial intelligence system then
creates compelling visualizations that help homeowners understand a
property's potential for both selling and enhancing their living
space through features like:
- Instant project visualization for easy decision-making
- Users can immediately see how different design choices
would look on their home. The design changes are rendered with
high-quality photos, which give users a realistic representation of
home updates for easier and more holistic decision-making.
- Extensive design options and peace of mind - Users
can experiment with a wide range of design elements, including
flooring, wall colors, siding, trim, roofing, cabinets and other
architectural features and customizable options through Hover's
extensive 3D property dataset that are spatially intelligent. The
tool includes digitized materials that are offered by manufacturers
and paint colors from top brands, giving users a realistic idea of
what a project will look like.
- User-friendly interface, professional grade visualizations
- An intuitive interface lets homeowners easily
explore design options including but not limited to farmhouse,
contemporary and mid-century modern styles without needing
professional design skills. Users can easily compare their current
home appearance with these styles through this technology, which,
according to Hover, has been used millions of times by contractors,
insurance companies, and homeowners to price, sell, and build
real-world home improvements and restorations.
"We know that one of the biggest challenges of any home
renovation is understanding what it will look like. With this tool,
homeowners can use AI technology to move forward with confidence,"
said A.J. Altman, Founder and CEO of Hover. "After more than a
decade of refining our technology to serve homeowners and
construction and insurance professionals, we're thrilled to work
together with Realtor.com® to help more consumers
visualize the potential of their home."
The Renovation Designer is one more addition to the
Realtor.com® suite of products designed to provide users
the ability to choose what's best for them and their home. From
visualizing design options to calculating return on investment via
the Realtor.com® renovation calculator and ultimately
connecting with locally recommended professionals to bring
renovations to life, Renovation Designer completes a unique
Realtor.com® end-to-end experience that helps homeowners
plan, assess and complete a renovation.
