Thanks VJ, you’re right. We’ll fix that discrepancy. Looks like a typo in one of our a/b experiment home pages. It shouldn’t say average. It should look like the attached.
Thanks for covering the raise! For anyone interested in learning more: tryhoma.com.

EXCLUSIVE: Former Zillow executive @armanjava has raised $5M for @BuyWithHoma, an AI-powered homebuying startup challenging traditional real estate commissions.

Nearly $1.5M returned to buyers so far, averaging $10,560 each.

You found the house. You did the research. How much should you pay an agent to close the deal?
Zillow alum @armanjava’s @BuyWithHoma raised $5M to help buyers keep more of the commission. It says buyers receive an average $10,560 credit at closing.

The national average for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage just hit 7.4% — the highest in nearly 3 years.
Your home purchase could buy it back down.
On a $500K home, that’s $10,000 back. With @BuyWithHoma, it’s yours to use.
At today’s 7.40% rate, 0.75 points off a $500K home (20% down) saves about $200 a month.

Wall Street is moving to Dallas. And a lot of home searches may be moving with it.
@TXStockExchange is rolling out corporate listings, @MorganStanley just announced a major new Dallas regional headquarters, and the city’s finance sector continues to grow.
@BuyWithHoma is already live across Texas to help welcome the people and families behind those headlines.
Tour homes on demand, work with a team of experts throughout the purchase, and receive up to 2% back at closing.
