Preference Curation
Fine-tune your property search by curating explicit preferences that guide recommendations and search results.
Overview
Section titled “Overview”The My Data page (/my-data) serves as your personal preference center. As you browse properties, the system infers preferences from your behavior—which price ranges you view, bedroom counts you filter for, and areas you explore. You can also explicitly add, confirm, or remove preferences to fine-tune your search results.
