Private Home-Equity Tracker App

Project Overview
We are building a private, login-only homeowner dashboard that helps users understand and track their home value and equity over time.

This is not a public real estate portal and not a lead funnel.
It is a calm, brand-first, homeowner-facing product designed for trust, clarity, and long-term use.

Branding, market context, and detailed functional specifications will be shared after shortlisting.
