Google has expanded its partnership with HouseCanary to feature property prices, photos, and home features within its Local Services Ads. Eligible home listings from participating multiple listing services will now appear in mobile search results.
Why it matters
This integration is designed to increase visibility for residential listings and simplify the search process for potential buyers. By surfacing data directly in search ads, the move aims to streamline how house hunters connect with listing agents.
This partnership launch follows a volatile year for HouseCanary, which includes a $175 million jury award from March 2026 regarding valuation technology and a $30 million loan default from January 2026.
The players

The details
