your stress-free home match

You buy a home together.
So search for it together too.

Right now you text each other listing links that get lost in the chat. In Hatch you each swipe separately, and only what you both like ends up on one shared place. That's how you search for a home together, instead of working past each other.

How it works

Buying a home is a team effort, but most property sites are built for one person. Hatch is built for both of you.

1

Set your preferences and start swiping

Each of you sets your own preferences: price, rooms, garden, energy label. Then you swipe through listings independently; your partner doesn't see your choices.

2

Both like it? It's a match

Only when you both like the same home does it appear on your shared list. You filter together, without influencing each other's choices.

3

From match to viewing

For each match, discuss with messages, request a viewing and add the appointment to both your calendars.

Why not just use Funda?

On Funda you search alone. On Hatch you search together: you swipe, your partner swipes, and only when you both like the same home does it become a match. You filter together, without influencing each other's choices.

The match moment, and what comes after

A home you both like becomes a match. From that moment everything is in one place: each person's rating, the messages you add along the way and the viewing you arrange together.

The Matches screen with three homes that John and Sanne both like, one of them a supermatch, each with stars and, on one home, a counter of 2 messages.
The detail page of a match: all features, a link through to the source, your rating next to Sanne's rating and a block to arrange a viewing.

Hatch learns which homes suit you

Filters say what you think you want; your swipes show what you actually choose. Searching together? Then you see at a glance where your tastes align and where they diverge. Hatch shows you the kind of place you keep liking, including neighbourhoods you'd never have considered. And if you want, Hatch shows you the homes you dismissed too quickly: for each missed opportunity you see how well it fits your taste. That's how you find out what you're after, even when you didn't know exactly beforehand.

Get started with Hatch

Searching together? Invite your partner after creating your account.

The Insights screen: at the top the 'John & Sanne' card with a green 95% match meter, sections 'Where you meet' and 'Where it rubs', and a 'Send to Sanne' share button. Below that, a potential match based on your shared taste.

One place, every source

Hatch scans 5 listing sources at once and refreshes 4 times a day, so you never miss a thing.
