An AI apartment finder for New York City

You describe the apartment. Homey does the searching and the arithmetic.

1. Tell Homey what you want. Sign-up is three questions: your name, the neighborhoods you like and how many bedrooms. After that you talk normally: “two bedrooms in Astoria or Long Island City, under $3,800, moving in March”.
2. It searches what is listed now. Homey reads the apartments landlords and brokers currently list on Nessoo across the five boroughs and keeps the ones that fit your budget, neighborhoods, timing and space.
3. It explains each match. For every home: the rent against the income most landlords look for (40 times the monthly rent), and how far a rent is out of reach if it is. Each listing page also shows the most you can legally be asked to pay to move in.
4. You choose. When a home is worth it, verify your identity and income once and send your file to the landlord. Landlords can also invite you to apply.

Plain questions work. You do not need filters or exact terms.

• “Two bedrooms in Astoria or Long Island City under $3,800, moving in March.”
• “What rent can I afford on $110,000 a year?”
• “Why does this one say it’s out of reach?”
• “Compare the two Bushwick apartments you showed me.”
• “Which of these are available before April?”
• “Show me studios in Manhattan available next month.”

A filter answers one question at a time. A conversation keeps the whole picture.

On a filter-based site you set a price range, a neighborhood and a bedroom count, then read every result to find out what each one really costs and whether you would qualify. Homey keeps your preferences and your income (what you tell it, or your verified income) in mind across the whole conversation. So it can tell you that a $3,600 one-bedroom needs about $144,000 a year at the usual 40 times rule, or that a home you like is $300 a month above what your income reaches.

The apartments are the ones listed on Nessoo. Nessoo is not a listing aggregator: every home was put there by its landlord or broker, and homes that rent come off.

Nessoo’s listings are open to any AI assistant through a read-only connector.

The connector is an MCP server at https://nessoo.com/mcp, with the same tools as a JSON API described at nessoo.com/openapi.json. An assistant can search apartments listed on Nessoo, read one listing or one building, list neighborhoods with homes for rent, give a neighborhood’s rents, and work out what rent an income reaches. It needs no account and returns only what is already public on nessoo.com.

What the connector receives and keeps is set out in its privacy notice. Incomes given to the affordability tool are never stored or logged.

Homey helps you decide. It does not decide for you.

• It does not approve anyone. Landlords make their own decisions, and a match is not an approval.
• It does not invent listings. What it says about an apartment comes from what the landlord or broker listed.
• It does not share your documents. Your file goes to a landlord only when you send it or accept their invitation.
