🚨 Property Taxes Too High? Realtor.com Just Dropped a Game-Changer 🔧🏡
Hey homeowners, wannabe homeowners, and basically anyone who’s ever screamed into their pillow after seeing their property tax bill—take a deep breath. Because things just got a whole lot smarter (and fairer) in the real estate game.
Realtor.com, the digital OG for all things home listings and market insights, just dropped an integration that might actually *save you money*—not a typo, babes. They’ve teamed up with Ownwell, a high-tech property tax appeal company, and baked their magic right into the My Home dashboard. Translation? You can now monitor and potentially reduce your property taxes without needing a Ph.D. in local tax code. 😅
Let’s break it down 🚀👇
Ownwell isn’t just some startup with nice fonts—they’re out here with receipts. According to their recent survey, 66% of homeowners *underestimated* their property tax bills this year. Ouch. Even scarier? 53% didn’t know they could even appeal those assessments. Like, WHAT?
“Property taxes are a growing concern for millions of Americans,” said Ownwell CEO Colton Pace. “There’s limited awareness about available resources and ways to combat these rising costs.”
So what’s the play? With this new tool, users can:
🔍 Track property tax assessments directly in Realtor.com
📉 Get alerts if their assessment looks sus (aka overestimated)
📬 Appeal their taxes with support from Ownwell’s pros
In fact, Realtor.com estimates that 40.5% of U.S. homes are potentially overassessed. That’s nearly *half* of homeowners out here paying more than necessary. Tbh, it’s giving highway robbery. 😤
Now insert Ownwell’s flex: The platform says it’s already saved customers over $10 **billion** in reduced taxes and that 86% of the appeals it files lead to actual tax cuts. That’s not just a dub—it’s a whole championship ring. Average savings? $1,100 a year. Yeah, I know, your jaw just dropped 💸
David Masters, senior director of product at Realtor.com, put it like this: “This is one more resource for homeowners on Realtor.com so they can potentially save significant money on one of their largest annual home expenses.”
And let’s be clear: this move isn’t just a tech upgrade—it’s a vibe shift. This is about empowering homeowners with equity, transparency, and actual tools that work in the real world (not just in glossy fintech PowerPoints). Less financial stress means more mental bandwidth for the good things—like whether you want an air fryer or a pizza oven in your reno’d kitchen.
So, crypto crew and future-forward fam, this is what I call a real-world asset win. Ownwell’s model vibes hard with everything we’re building in the AI x RWA space—efficiency, transparency, and empowerment for the everyday person.
Realtor.com stepping into the homeowner-agent role? We love to see it. 📲🤝🏡
Innovation isn’t just about tokenomics or chain speed—it’s about solving real problems for real people. And this combo? Serving main character energy.
Homeowners, go check your My Home dashboard. Your wallet might just say thank you.
