HouseCanary is reorganizing under Chapter 11
HouseCanary, Inc. and five affiliates filed voluntary Chapter 11 petitions on 22 September 2026 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of New Jersey.
The company's reorganization page says its valuations, data, analytics, APIs and support continue without interruption and that customers do not need to take any action.

What it really is
A residential property data and AVM provider sold through a web app, PDF reports and an API.
Our take
HouseCanary packs valuations, forecasts, an AI assistant and an API into plans that start at $19 a month, which is low for this kind of data. The plan price is only the floor: extra reports and API calls are metered, so heavy users should model usage first. The September 2026 Chapter 11 filing does not change the product today, but it is a reason to prefer monthly billing until the reorganization is settled.
Why we rate it
Deep valuation and market data with published self-serve prices.
The catch
Usage fees on reports and API calls, and a Chapter 11 filing in September 2026.
Best for
Single-family rental investors
Mortgage lenders and servicers
Agents who need valuation reports
Not good for
Homeowners wanting a free estimate
Buyers who need fixed, all-inclusive pricing
Friction report
Time to value
Short for reports via self-serve plans; API work needs developer time.
Scale breakpoint
Basic and Pro are single-user; Teams caps at 10 active users a month.
Walled garden
Low to medium: data comes out as PDFs and via API.
