Revaluto: leveraging data to promote a renovated property market

Italian property portal Revaluto, which specialises in homes for sale requiring renovation, integrated CASAFARI’s Property Sourcing API to automate listing collection and estimate post-renovation values. By connecting to CASAFARI’s database, Revaluto reported scaling property analysis from 15 to over 1,000 listings per day within two months, expanding from a local platform into a national business across Italy.

What makes Revaluto stand out in the Italian property market?

Revaluto is a real estate portal created with the aim of simplifying and speeding up the process of finding, buying and revaluing properties through the use of data and artificial intelligence. It differs from other platforms because it focuses exclusively on properties for sale in need of revaluation and/or restructuring.

Returning newly renewed properties to the market supports the development of the real estate sector in an objective and practical way.

The company also stands out when accessing the whole Italian property market with CASAFARI by instantly providing users information of a great added value in each ad, such as estimated renovation costs, before/after previews and recommended finishes. It is a clear advantage for both estate agents and buyers alike.

In order to properly estimate how much a property would appreciate after being renewed, Revaluto required easy access to a comprehensive and accurate real estate database.

How does CASAFARI’s API power Revaluto’s AI renovation previews?

As the provider of Europe’s largest real estate database, CASAFARI assisted Revaluto to overcome its primary challenge of sourcing property listings in the market. By seamlessly leveraging CASAFARI’s Property Data API, Revaluto gained instant access to an extensive database, tracking and supplying property listings from their partner real estate agencies.

This integration significantly streamlined Revaluto’s process, enabling them to showcase the potential of properties through rendering potential renovations. With data obtained through the Property Sourcing API documentation, Revaluto’s AI generated visually captivating renditions of potential renovations, enhancing the appeal of listings to potential buyers.

This innovative approach empowered prospective buyers to envision the possibilities of a property, thereby increasing engagement and facilitating a deeper understanding of the property’s potential value post-renovation.

When asked about the advantages of CASAFARI’s Property Data API, Matteo Rossetto, CEO of Revaluto, had no doubts:

“By having access to a database of useful and structured data for our ‘AI engine’ we were able to scale our real estate portal faster. The main advantages are the speed and updating of the data used, which allows us to keep real estate listings always synchronised with the market and exhibit our customers new listings on the platform every day.”

What results did Revaluto achieve after two months with CASAFARI?

Before integrating CASAFARI, the onboarding of agencies and the analysis of property listing data was linked to a complex study system managed by Revaluto’s team of internal analysts, which required significant time and manual effort.

As of March 2024, Revaluto reported scaling from 15 listings to analysing over 1,000 listings per day within two months of integration—a 100-fold increase in speed that allowed its analysts to focus on improving the company’s internal rating system. This enabled Revaluto to grow from a local platform into a national business across Italy, with plans to expand further across Europe.

CASAFARI continues to support Revaluto’s data-driven growth across the Italian property market.
