I worked for BoomTown! and I’d say that the single most complicated bits were ingesting MLS data. “Waterfront” on the beach is different than “Waterfront” in Ohio and can be coded differently. They had a full team of librarians whose sole job was to properly categorize all these things. It was wild.
Anyway, getting the data would be the most hardest part for a new product. MLS data usually isn’t open and usually only licensed RE agents can get authorization, and usually only in the area they are operating in. If you really want to disrupt the market, create an open MLS database and somehow sell it to agents that are sometimes contractually obligated to only use a single MLS.
Good luck!
