Change the World 2023
Colombian proptech unicorn Habi brings peace of mind to homeowners by simplifying the sometimes arcane and difficult process of valuing, buying, and selling a home in Colombia and Mexico. Lower- to middle-income homeowners in these countries tend to turn to their neighbors or doormen to deduce their home’s value, but that often leads to inaccurate estimates. In the past two years, Habi has helped 557,000 homeowners in Colombia and Mexico get free and accurate estimates of their home’s value in less than three minutes with its Habimetro tool. Habi offers the tool at no cost to customers to help aid transparency in often informal real estate markets in Colombia and Mexico. Habi makes money through other products such as Market Maker, through which it directly buys homes before remodeling them and putting them back on the market.
