Product and Services Roundup: Realtor.com, Share To Buy, Jitty

January 16, 2026

This week's product roundup starts with a nifty integration for Realtor.com in the United States...

 

North America: Realtor.com announces integration with CubiCasa for floorplans and virtual tours

Realtor.com has integrated CubiCasa floor plans into its platform, expanding the availability and visibility of interactive floor plan content on listing pages.

CubiCasa is a 2D and 3D floor plan app for iOS and Android devices, allowing users to scan, uplod and retrieve floor plans in as little as 10 minutes. Both companies note that floor plans continue to be an underused asset for consumers searching for properties.

Dave Herman, SVP of Product and AI Innovation at Realtor.com, said:

"Integrating CubiCasa means we are transforming static listings into high-fidelity digital experiences. This empowers home shoppers to compare and decide with a clearer understanding of the property before visiting in person."

Jeff Allen, President at CubiCasa, added, "We're making floor plans a visible, expected part of the listing experience, not just an optional extra. That helps buyers make smarter decisions and helps agents deliver clearer value."

 

United Kingdom: Share To Buy partners on Homes for Londoners portal

Share To Buy, the UK-based property portal designed for home seekers searching for buying schemes such as Shared Ownership and Rent-to-Buy, has collaborated with the mayor of London on a revamped version of London's specialist property portal.

Homes for Londoners is the official property platform for buyers searching for properties in Zone 1 to Zone 6. The refreshed portal will now also allow users to search for properties available in tandem with affordability schemes such as Shared Ownership, London Living Rent, Discount Market Sale, and Older Persons Shared Ownership.

Nick Lieb, chief Operations Officer at Share to Buy, said:

"The capital is currently facing a housing crisis—rents are high, stock across the board is low, and buying is out of reach for many. That’s why the new Homes for Londoners portal is so important. By combining the scale and functionality of Share to Buy with the reach and trust of Homes for Londoners, we can provide a more streamlined, user-friendly experience that genuinely helps more people take a step towards homeownership."

Tom Copley, deputy mayor for housing and residential development, commented:

"Tackling our urgent housing crisis is my top priority. The mayor’s enhanced property portal will help to connect Londoners to affordable homes and provide much-needed guidance on the housing schemes, as well as useful tools such as in-built affordability calculators on every listing. At a time when London’s housing market is facing significant challenges, it’s more important than ever that Londoners have clear, reliable information on the options available to them, as we build a better and fairer London for everyone."

According to its website, Share To Buy sources thousands of qualifying properties every month from over 300 housing providers.

 

Jitty adds StationSearch to its home search platform

UK-based Jitty has launched StationSearch, allowing users to discover homes based on proximity to national train stations. The feature was added in response to growing buyer demand for rail-connected living.

In a press release, Jitty noted that "YouGov data shows that people planning to buy or sell a home in the next 12 months are over 55 per cent more likely than the national average to commute by train," but rail proximity continues to be reduced to opaque statements ("close to transport links" in property descriptions) instead of specific, searchable and comparable.

Graham Paterson, CEO and co-founder of Jitty, said:

"Buyers have been very clear with us that proximity to a station can be just as important as price or number of bedrooms. Many told us they were manually checking every listing against maps and journey planners. StationSearch was built directly in response to that feedback—it brings rail connectivity into the search itself, helping the right buyers find the right homes faster."

Backed by REA Group and Google's AI fund, Gradient Ventures, Jitty claims it is seeing 50 per cent month-on-month organic growth and is on track to exceed one million property searches this in January 2026.
