CoStar Group launched Homes AI on its Homes.com portal using Microsoft Azure OpenAI technology. The feature enables consumers to search for properties through natural voice or text conversations. This tool replaces traditional keyword-based filters with a real-time conversational interface.
The system functions as a digital real estate advisor by processing CoStar’s proprietary datasets. It integrates property information, Matterport 3D tours, school data, and neighborhood insights to offer personalized guidance.
Founder and CEO Andy Florance characterized the launch as a generational shift in home discovery and evaluation. The initiative aims to transition the home shopping process into a dynamic and consultative experience.
