Project Overview

Propcan is a Canadian real estate insights platform designed to make property data more transparent and accessible. The platform aggregates property values, historical sale data, and neighborhood-level trends, allowing users to explore and compare real estate with confidence.

Built as a consumer-first product, Propcan focuses on clarity, speed, and trust—removing friction from how buyers, homeowners, and real estate professionals understand the market.

The Challenge

The Canadian real estate landscape is fragmented, with critical data often locked behind paywalls or difficult-to-navigate tools. The challenge was to:

  • Present complex real estate data in a way that is easy to understand
  • Support map-based discovery without compromising performance
  • Design a scalable system capable of handling large datasets and future feature expansion
  • Maintain trust and accuracy in a data-sensitive domain

At the same time, the platform needed to feel fast, modern, and approachable for everyday users—not just industry professionals.

Our Solution

We designed and built Propcan as a modern, full-stack web application with a strong emphasis on usability and long-term maintainability.

Key aspects of the solution included:

  • Clean, intuitive UI focused on property comparison and exploration
  • Map-driven search experience to surface insights geographically
  • Normalized data models to support historical pricing, trends, and future analytics
  • High-performance backend APIs optimized for read-heavy workloads
  • Scalable architecture that allows new regions, datasets, and features to be added incrementally

The platform was built using a modern JavaScript stack, enabling rapid iteration while maintaining production-grade reliability.

Outcome

Propcan launched as a free, data-rich real estate platform that delivers meaningful insights without overwhelming users. The final system:

  • Improved accessibility to real estate market data
  • Enabled faster and more informed property comparisons
  • Established a strong technical foundation for future monetization and feature growth
  • Positioned the product as a credible proptech platform in the Canadian market

The architecture and design decisions ensure Propcan can evolve alongside changing market needs, regulatory considerations, and data availability.
