Future of Home Search. Search On Commute Time, School Ratings, Down Payment and Monthly Mortgage

BERNARDSVILLE, N.J. - Oct. 19, 2015 - PRLog -- What Is ThinkHome.com?

http://www.ThinkHome.com is the only home search engine that allows users to search for homes based on things that matter the most.  We allow users to search for homes based on proximity to their work location and school rating preference.  Also, we offer users the ability to search for homes based on true affordability parameters such as available down payment and the monthly mortgage budget.

We are adding analytics to home search by paying special attention to non-value adding costs such as property tax and commute cost.  Accordingly, we assign “ThinkHome Score” to each qualifying home where a higher score implies lower expenditure towards property tax and commute cost.  This means that more of user’s monthly payment is going towards building equity in the home.  By default, every user’s search result is sorted by “ThinkHome Score”.  In short, the topmost home in every user’s search result is not only within the specified commute time, school rating preference and affordability parameters, but it also indicates the best bang for the buck.

ThinkHome.com’s unique search result page provides a detailed breakdown of all costs associated with each listed home, including breakdown of mortgage components, estimated property maintenance cost, income tax credits and commute cost.  In addition, we display the actual commute time from each listed home to the user’s work location and the relevant GreatSchools ratings.  This means that users no longer have to visit several places on the web to get necessary information about each home.
