6 best Wahi alternatives for buying a home together (2026)

The best Wahi alternative for couples and co-buyers in the GTA is Dibz: its shared lists let you invite a partner, family member or roommate by link, and everyone can add and remove homes, with sold prices, value estimates, drive times from both of your workplaces and rental search in the same app. HouseSigma, REALTOR.ca, Zolo, Zoocasa and Strata.ca are the other alternatives worth comparing.

Wahi, from Wahi Realty Inc., Brokerage in Toronto, searches homes in Ontario, B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Its best-known feature is Wahi Together, a co-buyer mode, along with an instant home estimate, school scores, AI image search and in-app showing requests. Its sold history covers "select areas", and some of it needs a login.

Disclosure: Dibz is our product. Competitors were checked on October 13, 2026, and we note our own limitations below.

What couples need from a home search app

Buying together is mostly about agreeing. The tools that help most are:

• One shared list you both add to, so the shortlist lives in one place.
• Commute from both workplaces, since "close to work" means two places.
• Sold prices and a value estimate you can both look at before you argue about an offer.
• Notes to remember what you each thought after a viewing.
• Alerts that reach both of you.

1. Dibz: best Wahi alternative for the GTA

Dibz builds search-together into the app:

• Shared lists. Create a list, send an invite link, and your partner (or parents, or roommates) can add and remove homes. You see who added what, and each list can have its own colour. Our guide to buying a home together walks through it step by step.
• Drive times from both of you. Save up to two places, such as each of your workplaces, and every card shows the estimated drive from each. You can also filter to homes within a set distance.
• Sold and leased prices with a free account, listing history, and the Dibz Value Estimate with a range and a confidence level.
• Private notes on each home, and compare up to four homes side by side.
• Discover: swipe through matching homes one at a time, then save the ones you both like.
• Follow a home for price drops, status changes and open houses, and alerts by push or email.
• Rentals too, filtered by basement, upper, main floor, whole house, room or condo, if you're renting while you save.
• An Ontario mortgage calculator with land transfer tax and first-time buyer rebates.

Dibz is free with no third-party ads. It's operated by HighPoint Homes Realty, Brokerage, so a licensed agent can book showings for you both.

Honest limitations: Wahi covers six provinces; Dibz covers Toronto, the GTA and nearby cities on the TRREB MLS® only. Dibz doesn't have a swipe-to-match mode like Wahi Together; you share a list instead. The Android app is on Google Play, the iPhone app is in beta on TestFlight, and both of you can use dibz.ca in a browser.

2. HouseSigma: sold data in three provinces

HouseSigma covers Ontario, B.C. and Alberta with sold prices after a free sign-in, SigmaEstimate, school scores and SigmaAI. You can each watch the same listings. See HouseSigma alternatives.

3. REALTOR.ca: national coverage

REALTOR.ca has every MLS® listing across Canada, saved searches, favourites and notes, commute information and easy listing sharing. It generally doesn't show TRREB sold prices. See REALTOR.ca alternatives.

4. Zolo: national, with GTA sold data

Zolo covers Canada with homes for sale and rent, GTA sold history and a home value calculator. See Zolo alternatives.

5. Zoocasa: long sold history

Zoocasa, owned by eXp World Holdings, covers Canada and many U.S. states with sold data back to 2003 and Zoopraisal estimates.

6. Strata.ca: Toronto analytics

Strata.ca shows sold history, property values and a "likelihood of multiple offers" indicator for Ontario condos and houses.

How to search for a home as a couple

1. Agree on the non-negotiables first: budget, areas, home type, and the longest commute either of you will accept.
2. Set one saved search with those filters and turn on alerts for both of you.
3. Keep one shared shortlist, and remove homes as soon as one of you says no.
4. Compare sold prices together before you view, so you agree on a price range. Our guide to reading sold prices helps.
5. Plan the money: FHSA and the Home Buyers' Plan can each be used by both of you.

FAQ

What is Wahi Together?

Wahi Together is Wahi's co-buyer mode, which lets two people search together and see the homes they both like.

Is there an app like Wahi for couples?

Yes. In the GTA, Dibz shared lists let you invite a partner by link and both add and remove homes, with drive times from both workplaces on every listing. Wahi Together is the other main option, across six provinces.

Which provinces does Wahi cover?

Wahi's home search covers Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

Can two people use one Dibz account?

It's better to each have your own free account and share a list. Each of you gets your own alerts, notes and Dibz AI questions, and the shared list keeps the shortlist in one place.
