A new mobile app called <\/span>Playhouse<\/span><\/a> is hoping to bridge the disconnect between real estate listing videos and local buyers. <\/span><\/p>\n Described as \u201cfun and addictive like TikTok, practical and actionable like Zillow,\u201d Playhouse allows users to scroll through short videos of homes on the market in their area. Some videos are set to upbeat pop songs, while others feature voice over audio highlighting the home\u2019s selling features. Similar to TikTok, users can like, share or comment on each video.<\/p>\n The basic listing details are prominently displayed, including the home\u2019s price, address, square footage, and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Tapping on the \u2018listing details\u2019 button reveals additional information like the property description, a map of its location, price insights and more. There\u2019s also an option to call or email the listing agent directly, making it easy to set up an in-person showing.<\/p>\n At the top of the screen is a filters button that enables the user to set their price range and preferred number of bedrooms and bathrooms. Currently, all of the homes on Playhouse are clustered in Silicon Valley, primarily in wealthy cities like Palo Alto, Los Altos Hills and Menlo Park. Most properties on the app are priced well over $1 million, with some asking as much as $30 million.<\/p>\n Playhouse officially launched today <\/span>via Product Hunt<\/span><\/a> and is available on the <\/span>App Store<\/span><\/a> for iPhone users in the US. The company plans to expand to other markets and will be available to Android users in the near future, according to comments made by Alex Perelman, Co-Founder and CEO at Playhouse.<\/span><\/p>\n Described as \u201cfun and addictive like TikTok, practical and actionable like Zillow,\u201d Playhouse allows users to scroll through short videos of homes on the market in their area.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":219250,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"2021-08-10T18:56:11Z","apple_news_api_id":"a02fcc9a-8065-45a4-9976-8fb85e562f61","apple_news_api_modified_at":"2021-08-10T18:56:11Z","apple_news_api_revision":"AAAAAAAAAAD\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/w==","apple_news_api_share_url":"https:\/\/apple.news\/AoC_MmoBlRaSZdo-4XlYvYQ","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_is_hidden":false,"apple_news_is_paid":false,"apple_news_is_preview":false,"apple_news_is_sponsored":false,"apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"middle","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":["https:\/\/u48r14.digitalhub.com\/sections\/09b86915-7d2b-3acd-915b-b215002d01b7"],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[11108],"tags":[11136,11139,11002],"coauthors":[8647],"apple_news_notices":[],"yoast_head":"\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
