FindSafeHomes – AI-Powered Housing Marketplace

Project Description

FindSafeHomes is an AI-powered housing marketplace designed to make finding rental accommodation easier, faster, and more accessible. It connects people searching for houses with agents who have available properties, bringing property discovery, agent information, and inspection requests into one platform.

Finding suitable accommodation can be stressful, especially for students and people relocating to unfamiliar areas. Renters often have to browse multiple social media groups, contact different agents, and manually compare property details before finding something that meets their needs.

FindSafeHomes addresses this challenge through an AI-powered natural-language search experience built with Meta’s Muse Spark. Instead of requiring users to understand complex search filters, they can simply describe the kind of accommodation they want in everyday language.

For example, a user can search:

“I need a self-contained apartment near UNIPORT, with reliable water supply, and a yearly rent below ₦500,000.”

Muse Spark interprets the request and converts it into structured search criteria. The backend then uses those criteria to search the actual property listings stored in the database and returns relevant matches, including property details and agent information.

Users can explore available properties, view listing details, connect with agents, and request inspections. Agents can also manage their property listings and inspection requests through the platform.

Problems FindSafeHomes Solves

1. Difficulty finding suitable accommodation: Renters often spend considerable time searching through scattered social media posts and contacting multiple agents. FindSafeHomes brings property listings into one accessible marketplace.
2. Complicated property searches: Traditional property platforms often require users to select several filters manually. Our AI-powered search allows users to describe their requirements naturally.
3. Information overload and irrelevant listings: By interpreting users’ requirements and matching them against available database records, FindSafeHomes helps narrow down searches to more relevant properties.
4. Lack of accessible agent information: Renters need a convenient way to identify and contact the agents responsible for listings. FindSafeHomes connects property listings with their respective agents.
5. Unstructured inspection processes: Finding a property is only part of the process. FindSafeHomes provides a way for renters to request inspections and for agents to manage those requests.

Use of Meta AI

FindSafeHomes integrates Meta’s Muse Spark to power its natural-language property search feature. The model understands users’ housing requirements and translates them into structured search criteria that the backend can validate and use to retrieve matching properties from MongoDB.

This makes property discovery more conversational and accessible while ensuring that search results come from actual property listings rather than AI-generated or invented properties.

Technology Stack

* Frontend: React.js, Tailwind CSS
* Backend: Node.js and Express.js
* Database: MongoDB
* AI Integration: Meta Muse Spark
* Authentication: JWT and bcrypt

Vision

My vision is to make property discovery simpler and more accessible by combining AI with a practical housing marketplace that connects renters and property agents.
