HousingAnywhere

Online marketplace for short-term student housing

Overview

HousingAnywhere is a rental marketplace that connects international students and young professionals with short-term housing options. Its platform makes it easy for landlords to list properties and for tenants to find and book temporary accommodations, offering a seamless process for searching, messaging, and securing housing. The company differentiates itself by focusing on niche needs: international mobility and short-term stays, providing a specialized experience tailored to students abroad and early-career professionals, rather than broad, generic rental listings. Its goal is to grow as a leading marketplace for rental accommodations in Europe, supported by funding and acquisitions to expand its market presence and platform capabilities.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

  • LTM net revenue reached about €39 million and adjusted EBITDA €5.6 million by July 2026.
  • HousingAnywhere added 12 universities last week, expanding distribution without heavy consumer acquisition costs.
  • Q3 2026 rents stabilized, keeping search volume high and landlord inventory commercially attractive.

What critics are saying

  • Spotahome and Uniplaces outrank HousingAnywhere in traffic; paid search fell 52% in September 2026.
  • Antonio Intini’s 2025 CEO transition resets strategy while competitors keep shipping faster.
  • Student-housing dependence is existential: weaker Europe-bound mobility or university demand compresses growth quickly.

What makes HousingAnywhere unique

  • HousingAnywhere spans 25 European cities, 11 countries, and 160,000+ listings.
  • Its Q3 2026 Rent Index turns marketplace data into recurring demand and brand trust.
  • Rent Guarantee boosts acceptance rates 42%, solving international tenants’ biggest friction.
