If you have been pondering some renovations but want to have an idea of what they will look like when they are completed Realtor.com has just launched a great artificial intelligence tool to allow you to see realistic visualizations of exterior and interior home renovations, with actual materials and colors, before investing your time and money.
The new offering is part of Realtor.com's "RealValue Tools" which help you track your home's value. Per the Realtor.com website, Homeowners "can access this Renovation Designer by claiming their home within My Home on Realtor.com®. Once claimed, the homeowner can upload photos of their home and suggest the changes they want to make. The advanced artificial intelligence system then creates compelling visualizations that help homeowners understand a property's potential for both selling and enhancing their living space through features like:
- Instant project visualization for easy decision-making - Users can immediately see how different design choices would look on their home. The design changes are rendered with high-quality photos, which give users a realistic representation of home updates for easier and more holistic decision-making.
- Extensive design options and peace of mind - Users can experiment with a wide range of design elements, including flooring, wall colors, siding, trim, roofing, cabinets and other architectural features and customizable options through Hover's extensive 3D property dataset that are spatially intelligent. The tool includes digitized materials that are offered by manufacturers and paint colors from top brands, giving users a realistic idea of what a project will look like.
- User-friendly interface, professional grade visualizations - An intuitive interface lets homeowners easily explore design options including but not limited to farmhouse, contemporary and mid-century modern styles without needing professional design skills. Users can easily compare their current home appearance with these styles through this technology, which, according to Hover, has been used millions of times by contractors, insurance companies, and homeowners to price, sell, and build real-world home improvements and restorations."
I love this tool because it is free and user-friendly. Click here to get started.
