Find your home's DNA.
Most search tools ask your budget and bedrooms. Home DNA asks the questions nobody else does, then figures out your buyer profile and matches two homes at once: the one you need now, and the one you're building toward for 2030.
Your priorities. Your profile. Your kind of home.
Your next move, matched to how you actually live today: who's home, how you work, what you won't compromise on.
The home you're building toward: who's home in 2030, where you are, and the path from here to there.
The anatomy of a home
Watch a home come apart into its DNA.
An architectural model of a home. Scrolling separates the roof, living space and garden to reveal light, space and connection. The pieces then form a moving three-dimensional DNA strand. Scrolling back rebuilds the home.
Three questions. A taste of the rest.
Home DNA asks what a search box never does. Tap through three — no sign-up, no budget-and-bedrooms.
What's really pushing you to look?

Five chapters, one clear picture.
Questions a search box never asks — each answer makes the next one smarter.
- 01
Life Shape
Who's home with you, how you work, pets, and what's really pushing you to look.
- 02
Non-Negotiables
The must-haves: a room with a door, in-suite laundry, the longest commute you'd tolerate.
- 03
Values
Walkability or square footage, neighbours, transit, new build or character, green building.
- 04
Money
Rent versus own, what share of income feels right, co-owning, rent-to-own, and owning a slice.
- 05
Fast-Forward 2030
It's 2030: who's home, renting or owning, where you are, and how you get there.
Pick three that feel like home.
After the questions, you choose three of nine home styles. They tune the match to the feeling, not just the floor plan.
- Skyline Loft
- Quiet Cul-de-sac
- Lakeside
- Forest Edge
- Heritage Brick
- Glass & Steel
- Warm Minimal
- Maximal & Bold
- Rooftop Garden
A finished Home DNA, in one card.
Not a wall of text — a profile you can act on. Here's an example of what lands at the end.
The Equity Builder
Every property moves you forward. You're playing the long game.
Why this fits you
- You'd rather own and invest than rent.
- A 40-minute commute is fine if the numbers work.
- You answered 2030 before you answered now.
Two example matches
A 2-bed in Leslieville
Matches because: inside your budget, a 25-minute commute, and the lively street you leaned toward.
A semi in Hamilton
Matches because: more space per dollar, a tenant-ready lower level, and real room to build equity.
