We are very excited to announce today the launch of the brand new OpenComps 3. It is a product of over half a year of hard work as well as collaborative thinking and “dreaming” over the last few years. We have continuously talked about the OpenComps’ future we see – personal and social – and […]

Just a quick note on two recent changes that were rolled out over the past week. Sign In Requires Email The sign in screen now requires users to sign in with their email address, instead of the username. We are undergoing a complete security assessment of the site and implementing as much as we can […]

Among the many new features we implemented on the site this summer, the biggest was the Mailbox – a messaging system for OpenComps’ users to get in touch with each other. It is our first step towards delivering on our premise of being social (crowdsourced, being the first premise!). We are very excited with our […]

Over the summer, we rolled out quite a few new features (and bug fixes) to OpenComps without really any announcements. We are here to rectify this. Among the many new features, we would like to highlight the new Proximity Search,  new fields such as Brand, Property Manager, Lender, Buyer Origin and Owner Origin, new Map tabs […]

We are a small and young service that is entirely funded by our users. No fancy world-domination plans, no deep-pocketed venture capitalists doing the fund-ten-hope-one-works game. We are very much looking for the community of users to make up the service as well as fund us to keep us going and growing. That is why […]

We got busy with new features over the past few months, as you can see from our stream of updates here and here and here, that we got really delayed on our first quarter review. Well, there were no earth-shattering news: the market’s good times continue unabated. Which is nice, isn’t it? We certainly like […]

Among the many new features we have been quietly launching in the past month, we really hope you embrace this one: tagging yourself in transactions! At OpenComps, we are very keen to give credit where credit is due in putting these transactions together. It’s not easy, and we know it. That’s why from the beginning […]

Happy Cinco de Mayo! And Happy 8th anniversary to OpenComps! On May 5, 2006, OpenComps officially launched after over a year of development. It’s hard to believe that it’s been 8 years since then. Of course, our first 6.5 years were mostly spent in sort of prototype state and real work on the service started in […]

Happy May 1st! With spring firmly settling in, we did some spring cleaning. We washed the windows in the office and also decided to update your window into OpenComps by updating our front page. We are very happy with our new look and we hope you like it too! As the image above showcases, don’t […]
