What makes Asumisvalinta different

Built on official data

Prices and rents come from Statistics Finland by postal code area, interest rates from the European Central Bank, and tax and lending rules from Finnish authorities. Where an area has too few sales, the figure comes from a wider area, and the app says so.

Worked out by a tested engine

Every figure is calculated month by month in a tested calculation engine. The AI assistant fetches its numbers from the same engine and never does the arithmetic itself.
