Buy a Home with Open Data
Description
Buying properties has remained more or less the same for decades. Even with online platforms offering the services to find different options, we are stll tied to the same old information; size, location, rooms, etc... What if the online property services would utilize open data to show in real-time what is happening in the area you are interested in? Are there culture events, what is the crime rate, and how well does the public transportation work?
How might we offer new kind of value in property business by utilizing city’s and government’s open data to visualize different facets of specific areas in the cities? What kind of data sources already exist and what data would be highly valuable? How could this affect and change the information shown about the properties online? The target user group in this project is young couples buying their first home.
Join this project to dive deeper into open data. The aim is to demonstrate and visualize how open data can be used to support the decision to buy or rent a property. For this project we are looking for software developers, psychologists, UX and visual designers, and people interested in business and data sciences.
