A free home-buying analyzer for the US, India, and UAE that calculates monthly costs, buy-versus-rent break-even, equity, and a buy-or-don't-buy verdict.

HomeIQ asks buyers to enter property and loan details, then updates its calculations live. It also makes a clear privacy claim—no sign-up and no tracking—and handles the unusually specific case of off-plan purchases with deposits, milestones, and mortgages beginning at handover.
