By average, the rental is at $4.73 psf, which makes a monthly rent of $1,985 for an individual and $3,766 for a family. Given the current market condition, there are a lot of search, filter, and comparison work to do for every house seeker to find a suitable home with good price.

There are a wide variety of property searching apps and website in the world, with a smart selection function for the user to filter their favor and find the ideal house. However, currently most property portals only provide a mean to search and display a list of houses based on the filter criteria like price, house size, and bedrooms etc. It does not offer visualization summary in graphs for exploration of number of match-criteria houses in different districts, property distance to metro station or shopping malls and also comparisons for different houses types.
