Smarter House Hunting: How AI Is Changing The Homebuying Process in Mayberry, Colorado

Mayberry, a new community in Colorado Springs, might be inspired by the walkable towns of the past, but it’s taking a cutting-edge approach to selling homes through a partnership with OpenHouse.ai, a fast-growing company pioneering AI real estate solutions.

AI tools that offer greater efficiency have quickly become commonplace in our daily lives. Now, the real estate industry is embracing the opportunities that AI offers. Mayberry and OpenHouse.ai’s partnership will help buyers find and design the home that suits their budget, needs and lifestyle, while giving builders intelligence into market demand and evolving buyer behavior.

“Our goal is to make it easier for buyers to purchase homes. With OpenHouse.ai, we want to remove barriers for buyers, while being totally transparent about cost. Buyers can complete a questionnaire to identify the best home options based on their needs, interact with floor plans, and get access to the information they need to decide if Mayberry is the right fit for them. After they design and buy their home, they can move in just 120 days later,” said Mayberry Communities President Randy Goodson. “Partnering with OpenHouse.ai makes sense for our market position, buyer profile and our ability to show buyers that we can build top-quality homes quickly through our advanced methods.”

More than ever, buyers are looking for affordable homes that meet their unique and evolving needs. As a result of the pandemic and a move to remote working, for example, Mayberry has seen buyers move away from open-plan layouts to more closed spaces that enable quiet and privacy.

“AI is changing the real estate industry. We can provide home builders with meaningful insights in real-time that allow them to better understand what people want from their homes while presenting buyers a range of options tailored to them,” said OpenHouse.ai CEO and Co-Founder Will Zhang. “As the home building industry continues to battle rising costs, labor shortages, and fluctuating demand, AI can also help optimize all aspects of the build lifecycle — including design, procurement and project management — reducing construction cycle times and keeping costs down.”

While AI and automation are transforming how we work, the sales team at Mayberry isn’t concerned about AI taking over their roles. Instead, they see the opportunities it presents. “OpenHouse.ai has been pivotal in enhancing the buyer experience, ensuring it is positive and responsive for our sales associates,” said Mayberry Head Salesman Dean Jaeger. “Each buyer qualified by OpenHouse.ai has been highly communicative, eagerly prepared for the subsequent phase of buying or touring our community.”

By leveraging OpenHouse.ai’s advanced technology, Mayberry is setting new standards for convenience and efficiency, making finding, designing, and buying that new dream home even easier.
