What Home-in does

Home-in is a digital home buying concierge platform operated by CBA New Digital Businesses Pty Ltd, a wholly owned but non-guaranteed subsidiary of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, launched in February 2021 under CommBank's x15ventures technology venture. The platform serves Australian residential property buyers through a mobile application (iOS and Android), a web interface, and integrated conveyancing services, and has settled over $8 billion in property transactions since November 2020. Core products include digital conveyancing with a 6-business-hour contract review SLA, a personalised state-adaptive home buying checklist, a dedicated buying assistant accessible via in-app chat, property inspection reports delivered through a partnership with Before You Bid (building & pest, strata, pool), and referrals to CommBank home loans and home insurance. The technology stack combines digital ID verification, in-app team communication, real-time lender notifications to CommBank home loan officers, and electronic settlement workflows. Geographic and product scope is deliberately bounded to Australian residential property under $5M, explicitly excluding off-the-plan, rural/agricultural, retail, and commercial properties.

The business model is transaction-based: revenue is generated primarily through per-conveyancing fees that vary by state and customer status ($699 including GST for eligible CommBank customers in NSW/ACT versus $1,750 standard rate; $1,540 in VIC, $1,240 in QLD under CommBank pricing), with ancillary service fees for expedited settlement ($249), licensing agreements ($299), nomination forms ($99), and trust account usage ($99). Additional revenue streams include affiliate referral fees from Before You Bid property inspections, and pass-through disbursements ($350–$650 per transaction) charged at cost. Distribution combines a product-led growth self-serve app and website with a CommBank channel partnership in which CommBank lenders receive real-time notifications when customers add properties and actively recommend Home-in during the home loan origination process. Customer mix skews toward first home buyers (58%) and owner-occupiers (80%), with marketing executed across LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, content marketing, app stores, and CommBank's proprietary channels.

Direct peers

• PEXA: PEXA is Australia's dominant electronic conveyancing and lodgement network, used by most banks and law firms to settle property transactions. It is the closest infrastructural peer to Home-in's conveyancing offering and the most likely competitor to commoditize the settlement layer of Home-in's stack.
• Settle Easy: Settle Easy is an Australian online conveyancing platform that offers fixed-fee, digitally managed property settlements directly to consumers — directly competing with Home-in on price transparency, speed, and self-service experience.
• Conveyancing.com.au: Conveyancing.com.au is an Australian online conveyancing marketplace that connects property buyers with fixed-fee conveyancers across states — a direct competitor targeting the same digital-first, price-disclosed segment Home-in serves.
• triConvey: triConvey (by LEAP Legal Software) is a conveyancing practice-management platform widely used by Australian conveyancing law firms. It competes for the supply side of conveyancing and could power competing digital-first conveyancers competing against Home-in.
• InfoTrack: InfoTrack is an Australian legal-tech platform providing property searches, settlements, and e-lodgement tools widely integrated with law firms and conveyancers. It operates at the same transactional layer as Home-in and competes for the property-purchase workflow.
• Aussie Conveyancing Solutions: Aussie Conveyancing Solutions is a national online conveyancing service offering fixed-price settlements to Australian home buyers. It competes head-to-head with Home-in on price and digital convenience, especially for non-bank-aligned customers.

Emerging players

• Lawpath: Lawpath is an Australian online legal services marketplace offering conveyancing, contract review, and property-related legal services to consumers and SMBs. It overlaps with Home-in on the digital legal-service layer of the home-buy journey.

Broad incumbents

• Domain Group: Domain Group is a major Australian property marketplace and adjacent services provider (owned by Nine Entertainment). While primarily a listings platform, its broader home-buying ecosystem ambitions place it in adjacent competition with Home-in for the consumer property journey.
