How Home Scanner Works

Three simple steps between you and every property in Waterford. No noise. No waste. Just the stuff worth your time.

1

We Scan

48 Waterford estate agents. Every hour. Direct from their websites.

Most property hunters use Daft, MyHome, and Property.ie. But here's the problem: you're always behind. Properties appear on agent websites hours — sometimes days — before they reach the major portals. By then, the best deals are already generating interest.

Home Scanner cuts out the middle. We connect directly to 48 Waterford estate agents' websites and scan every single property every 60 minutes. New listings, price changes, status updates — we see it first, so you can act first.

We Score

AI scoring personalised to YOUR priorities.

Every property is not created equal. What's perfect for your mate might be totally wrong for you. That's why we don't show you a dumb list. Instead, we use AI to score every single listing from 0 to 100 based on what actually matters to you.

When you first sign up, you tell us what's important. Maybe you're chasing that coastal view and don't care about the kitchen. Or you need four bedrooms on a budget and garden space is essential. Your weights, your priorities, your scores.

Your scoring weights might look like this:

Coastal
40%
Price
25%
Bedrooms
15%
Garden
10%
Move-in ready
10%

Our AI doesn't just count bedrooms and check locations. It reads property descriptions, analyses photos, detects condition issues, and understands garden size from images. A 3-bed terrace house scores completely differently depending on whether it needs €50K of work or it's move-in ready.

Your 94 is your 94. Someone else's 94 is completely different. We're not ranking properties on a universal scale — we're showing you what's right for you.

You Know First

5 types of alerts, delivered to Telegram whenever they matter.

We send alerts via Telegram — instant, distraction-free, and you decide when to check them. No emails cluttering your inbox. No push notifications waking you up at 2am. Just Telegram messages that sit there until you're ready to look.

Five ways we've got your back:

☀️

Morning Brief

Every day at 7am, a calm digest of everything that happened overnight. Top matches, price drops, new listings — your whole housing update in 2 minutes.

🏠

New Listing

Instant alert the moment a property that scores above your threshold appears. Be the first to see it. First to call the agent. First to view.

📉

Price Drop

The moment any property you're watching drops in price, you know. Old price, new price, percentage drop. Daft.ie doesn't do this. We do.

🔄

Back on Market

When a withdrawn property returns to the market, you get instant notice. Often a sign of a motivated seller. Could be your opportunity.

Shortlist Sold

Save your favourites. When one gets marked sold or sale agreed, we alert you immediately. So you know what's no longer an option.

Wake up to clarity

Every morning at 7am, Home Scanner sends you a calm digest of everything that happened overnight. No noise. Just the stuff that matters.

☕ Morning, Brian

Here's what happened while you slept:

"Heads up — 3 new ones overnight and a lovely 4-bed in Dunmore East just popped up. Scored 94 for you. The kitchen's dated but the bones are incredible, 400m from the beach. I'd move fast on that one. Oh, and the 3-bed on the Dunmore Road dropped €46K. Worth another look."

You're watching a house. It drops.

This is what you'd get the moment a property in your search drops in price. No waiting. No checking manually. We tell you instantly.

We've got answers

How accurate is the AI scoring?

Very accurate for what matters to you. Our AI reads property descriptions, analyses photos, detects kitchen/bathroom condition, garden size, and move-in readiness. But we're not perfect — that's why you can always view the full listing and make your own decision. We're here to do the filtering, not replace your judgment.

What if I change my priorities?

You can adjust your scoring weights anytime in your dashboard. Want to prioritise gardens more? Lower the price weight? Done. All your properties will be rescored instantly based on your new priorities.

Do you use public data only?

Yes, 100%. We scrape estate agent websites directly — the same information you'd see if you visited them yourself. No Daft API hacking, no password access, no private data. Completely transparent and ethical.

Can I change my search area?

Right now, we cover Waterford with 48 agents. We're planning Cork, Dublin, Galway, and Limerick next. Founding members will be first to access new areas when they launch.

How often do you scan?

Every 60 minutes, 24/7. New listings, price changes, status updates — we're always watching. Your morning brief summarises the overnight activity, and you get instant alerts for anything that matches your search and scores above your threshold.

Can I use Home Scanner with a shortlist?

Yes. Save your favourite listings in your dashboard. We track price history, alert you when they drop, and notify you immediately if they get marked as sold or sale agreed. It's your personal property watchlist.

Stop searching.
Start knowing.
