RESEARCH
I analyzed competitors like Facebook Marketplace, Zillow, and WhatsApp, and conducted user interviews to uncover apartment search needs. Facebook Marketplace enabled quick communication but overwhelmed users with too many options. Zillow provided detailed listings but was hindered by complex navigation. WhatsApp offered reliable messaging but lacked a structured setup for real estate interactions.
User interviews revealed several important needs: participants desired fewer but more relevant listing options to avoid decision fatigue, in-app messaging to facilitate immediate and convenient communication with landlords or agents, and high-quality visuals to better assess potential apartments before scheduling visits.
Next Steps: Based on these findings, we plan to simplify the user journey by refining our filtering options to help users find their ideal apartment faster, integrate real-time messaging for seamless communication, and enhance visual content quality to provide a richer view of each listing. These improvements aim to deliver a more intuitive and satisfying experience for Dwellr users, making apartment hunting easier and more enjoyable.
