What is Ohmyhome’s MATCH Technology and How Does it Work?

MATCH is Ohmyhome‘s property matching engine that automatically connects buyers to the right listings and sellers to the right buyers. Buyers stop wading through listings that don’t fit, and sellers already know who’s interested before they even list.

Well, that’s the short version…

Read on below to fully understand how MATCH works and how it can take the stress out of your next property transaction.

TL;DR / Summary:

MATCH removes the searching entirely: buyers fill in their preferences once and receive matched listings automatically.
– The entire buyer journey gets cut down to just 3 steps, and your preferences stay saved even if a listing doesn’t work out.
– Sellers get real demand data before committing to a listing price, without spending anything on advertising.
– Ohmyhome sells 90% of homes within 26 days, with Super Agents closing 69 deals a year at half the typical agent commission fee.

What Your Typical Property Hunt Actually Looks Like Without MATCH

Before I explain how MATCH fully works, let me paint the picture of what a typical home search journey looks like for most buyers:

1. You create a mental list of where you’d want to stay, the number of rooms you need, and a rough budget in mind based on how much you feel you’re able to afford.

2. You visit a property listing website and input that list into various filters offered, to narrow down the potential list of properties that are on the market today that fits your criteria.

3. You open multiple tabs on all the different properties that pass your eye test and verify that the details in the listing are accurate enough and look enticing (you also close the often duplicated ones that have hired multiple agents to sell their home).

4. You contact the agent that is representing the homeowner and attempt to book a viewing.

5. You attempt to schedule a viewing based on how fast the agent replies, and whether or not they want to give you the time of day.

6. And if it isn’t ideal, you rinse and repeat steps 1 to 5 every day just to see if new listings appeared since you last checked.

Quite a tedious process if you ask me. Wouldn’t it be a godsend if this entire journey can be simplified?

Here’s How MATCH Flips the Property Search Around

Most property platforms give you better tools to search. MATCH just removes the searching altogether. You fill in what you’re looking for once, and from that point the right listings come to you automatically: already verified, already matched against your actual criteria, not just loosely filtered. No daily portal checks. No wondering if you missed something while you were busy with work or the kids.

This cuts the search down to just 3 steps:

1. We offer you a buyer preference form to fill up or intelligently determine your preference based on another listing you inquired on

2. We immediately and automatically send you relevant (and verified) listings that perfectly matches your criteria

3. We help set up viewing appointments for the home you’re interested in

Even if the listing wasn’t perfect (which can happen as you should be choosing your property with much scrutiny), or your offer was declined or a different offer was considered, you wouldn’t have to restart your search. Your preferences are still kept within our database and our MATCH engine continues the search on your behalf for other ideal properties.

And it’s not just buyers who benefit from this. Even before a listing goes live, MATCH can already tell sellers how many buyers in the database are looking for a home like theirs. So they walk in knowing the demand their property is likely to attract, before a single dollar goes into advertising.

And coupled with the Home Valuation Report, our super agents can combine their professional insights with this data and suggest the price you can list your property for and likely close at.

Note: We do not sell or let anyone else have access to this database and you will not be spammed or receive external marketing materials if you participate in MATCH)

Faster Sales. Better Prices. Half the Cost.

The result of using Ohmyhome’s MATCH is simple: we are able to sell homes faster than most other agents. In fact, 90% of the homes we sell are sold within 26 days, while the industry average is at 140 days.

To top it off, our Super Agents increase their efficiency, closing an average of 69 deals every year. That’s a 30x multiple of another industry average.

Last but not least, we complete the golden triangle by not compromising on price (in two ways.)

Firstly, you often end up selling your home for more than what it’s worth and secondly, you pay half the agent commission fee. In fact, we are able to charge half price because our MATCH technology gives us scale. By increasing efficiency and speed, we are able to take on more clients and serve them better.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ohmyhome’s MATCH

1. Does using MATCH cost anything extra as a buyer?

There’s no additional cost for buyers to use Ohmyhome’s MATCH. You fill in your buyer preference form, and the system runs on your behalf as part of Ohmyhome’s service. The cost savings come on the seller’s side, where MATCH’s efficiency allows Ohmyhome to charge half the typical agent commission without compromising on service or results.

2. How is MATCH different from just setting up saved search alerts on a property portal?

Unlike saved search alerts that simply notify you when new listings appear, MATCH actively manages the entire search on your behalf by verifying listings, matching them against your specific criteria, and sending only the ones that genuinely fit. It also works in reverse for sellers, generating real demand data before a listing goes live, which no standard property portal alert system does.

3. How accurate is the demand data that sellers receive before listing?

The demand data comes directly from Ohmyhome’s live buyer database, meaning real buyers who have already submitted their preferences and are actively looking. It isn’t a projection or an estimate based on market trends. When MATCH tells a seller how many buyers their home suits, those are actual profiles in the system that match the property’s criteria, which is why the data is meaningful enough for Super Agents to use it when recommending a listing price.

4. Can MATCH help if I’m doing a simultaneous HDB sale and purchase?

Yes, and this is actually one of the more useful applications. Because MATCH is working on both the buyer and seller side of the database simultaneously, it can support the timing of both transactions. Your Super Agent can use the demand data on your existing home alongside your buyer preferences for your next one, helping align both timelines more predictably than the traditional approach of managing them separately.

5. How long does it typically take to start receiving matched listings after filling in the preference form?

Matched listings start coming through as soon as relevant properties enter the portal that fit your criteria. There’s no waiting period, the matching happens in real time. If the right property isn’t in the system yet, MATCH keeps running in the background and notifies you the moment something suitable comes in.
