“This launch is not a political statement,” said Tushar Garg, co-founder and CEO of Flyhomes. “We simply explored the potential of information retrieval with AI and large language models and asked ourselves: would knowing the political affiliation of neighbors help customers make more informed home-buying decisions? The answer was a resounding yes. We also think that even those not searching for a home will find it interesting to see how their neighbors voted in elections – they might be surprised by what they discover.”

“This data is all publicly available, but it’s fragmented across sources and presented in a way that’s only accessible to academic researchers,” said Adam Hopson, Chief Strategy Officer of Flyhomes. “We know of nowhere else that it is presented in such a consumer-friendly interface, right alongside the other information you’d want to know about a home. Our goal is for consumers to use NeighborVote just as they would Walk Score or school ratings to evaluate homes.

Based on precinct-level voting data aggregated by the MIT Election Data & Science Lab, users can ask Flyhomes AI natural language questions like, “Is this home in a red or blue neighborhood?” or view the information on the home’s listing page. This information includes data on presidential and congressional elections, current representatives, and a neighborhood’s overall political leaning.
