Redfin now has an app in ChatGPT that lets users explore home listings, neighborhood information and housing market trends through the widely-used AI product. Home searchers can use the Redfin app in ChatGPT to surface relevant listings based on their initial query. From there, they can chat with the platform and ask specific questions like, “Can you show me homes within 10 miles of a hospital?” or “What about fenced in backyards with a pool?”
How to Use The App
To connect to Redfin’s app in ChatGPT, web and iOS users can go to their ChatGPT profile, navigate to settings > apps > explore apps, and search for Redfin. Once connected, users can click “start chat” from the app view to begin their home search.
The new app resembles Redfin’s familiar design and allows home searchers on ChatGPT to ask housing questions and refine their search as they go without re-entering criteria. For example, someone might start by asking about homes within a certain budget in a city, then follow up with questions later about neighborhoods, commute times or how prices have changed in recent years. It mirrors how people actually think about housing decisions.
Inside the Redfin app in ChatGPT, you can explore:
- Homes for sale, updated directly from the MLS.
- Home photos, maps, pricing and key property details.
- Clear next steps, including scheduling a tour, connecting with a Redfin agent or getting help with financing—handled seamlessly through Redfin.
Home Searching As a Conversation
This experience reflects Redfin’s belief that homebuying works best as a back-and-forth conversation and not a rigid, step-by-step process. The ChatGPT app builds on Redfin’s broader push to make home search feel more natural across its platforms. In November, Redfin announced conversational search on Redfin.com, allowing users to ask specific questions and refine their search using plain language rather than relying on filters. To use it, simply sign into Redfin.com and click on the homepage search bar. You’ll then see an option to try conversational search. You can also access the search via map view or home listings pages.
Conversational search is now available on Redfin’s iOS app as well. To use it, simply update your Redfin app and tap the search bar at the top of the app’s “Find Homes” page. Then, tap “Search smarter, powered by AI,” and begin your home search conversation.
Redfin remains the only brokerage that lets people have an ongoing, back-and-forth conversation directly within the search bars on its website and mobile app, making it easy to adjust criteria, explore alternatives and find that “needle in a haystack” home.
Our ChatGPT app is another way Redfin is using AI to transform real estate. Aside from this app and conversational search, Redfin offers the Redfin Estimate, which provides real-time home values; Ask Redfin, an AI-powered Q&A for home and market insights; and Buying Power, which helps homebuyers understand what they can truly afford.
