Playhouse offers a TikTok-like vertical video feed of homes on the market, showing price tags and letting users guess whether the displayed price is higher or lower than the listing. Users can view listings on a map, watch property videos, and message agents directly; agents can list properties for free. If Playhouse facilitates a sale it takes a cut of the transaction, creating a transaction-based monetization path. The app is currently in beta on iOS with home listings focused on the Bay Area and an estimated ~300 videos in the beta. Playhouse was part of Y Combinator’s summer 2021 cohort; co-founders Alex Perelman (CEO) and Nathan Shinder previously worked at PeerStreet. The company plans to expand beyond curated content to more user-generated videos but says it must first scale content-moderation capabilities.
