PROJECTVerified Real Estate Buy & Rent Marketplace for Tier-1 Cities
RATIONALEReal estate search is the third-largest search category in India. Static generation for listing pages ensures sub-100ms TTFB and strong SEO. Elasticsearch enables polygon-based location search and filters that PostgreSQL full-text search cannot match at scale. The monetisation model (₹1,999 per verified lead credit bought by agents) has strong precedent from NoBroker.

⚠ RISK FLAGS
!Cold-start problem is severe — plan for a data-import sprint to seed 500+ real listings before launch.
!Elasticsearch adds operational complexity; consider starting with PostgreSQL full-text search and migrating at 10k listings.
!Property photos are the #1 trust signal — invest in a moderation queue that rejects blurry or watermarked images automatically.
