Today we are opening Neighbourly.io, our unified real estate data API for Canada, to developers and businesses. For years we have built and maintained the data infrastructure behind our own products, cleaning, standardizing, and connecting the fragmented sources that describe Canadian property. Neighbourly.io is that infrastructure, made available to any team with an API key. We are calling it the intelligence layer for real estate because that is precisely the role it is meant to play: the connective data foundation others can build on.
The problem we set out to solve
Canadian real estate data is notoriously fragmented. Addresses are formatted a dozen ways, boundaries differ between agencies, permit records vary by municipality, and demographic context lives in yet another silo. Every team that wants to build something useful spends its first months solving the same plumbing problems we did. Neighbourly.io exists so that they do not have to. We have done the unglamorous work of reconciliation so that builders can start with clean, connected data.
What the API delivers
Neighbourly.io provides standardized addresses, consistent geographic boundaries, demographic data, building permits, and market signals through a single, coherent interface. Rather than stitching together incompatible feeds, developers query one API and receive data that already lines up. An address resolves to a boundary; a boundary carries demographics; a neighbourhood surfaces its permit activity and market indicators. The connections that normally take months to build are there from the first request.
Built over years, not months
This is not a product we assembled quickly for launch. It is the accumulated result of years spent operating real applications on top of Canadian property data, discovering the edge cases, and building the tooling to handle them at scale. That operational history is the point. The data has been battle-tested by our own products before being offered to anyone else, which is why we are comfortable putting it in front of teams whose work depends on it.
Where it fits alongside our products
Neighbourly.io joins Homeprint, our property intelligence product, and Lenderoo, our mortgage and lending product, in the Homicity family. Where those tools deliver finished intelligence to specific users, Neighbourly.io delivers the underlying data to builders who want to create their own. Together they reflect a single conviction: that better real estate decisions in Canada depend on better, more connected data, whether consumed directly or built upon.
Grounded, and just getting started
We are launching deliberately, not loudly. The API is live, documented, and ready for real workloads, but we see this as the beginning of a longer effort to broaden and deepen coverage across the country. We would rather earn trust through reliability than promises, and we intend to grow the platform in step with the teams who adopt it. Their feedback will shape what comes next far more than any roadmap we could write in isolation.
The takeaway
With Neighbourly.io, the data foundation we built for ourselves becomes available to everyone building in Canadian real estate. It arrives at a moment when the industry is turning decisively toward data-driven decisions, and when clean, connected information is more valuable than ever. If you are a developer or a business that needs Canadian property data you can trust, an API key is now all it takes to start. We are excited to see what gets built.
This analysis is built on Neighbourly.io — the real estate data API for Canada. Standardized addresses, boundaries, demographics, permits and market signals through a single interface.
