Abstract

Information analysis and display systems and methods include receiving first financial information regarding a user, and calculating a target home price based on the received financial information. A user interface display is generated that displays the target home price, and modifications to the target home price from the user are received via the user interface. Homes for sale are evaluated based on the target price.

receiving, subsequent to the displaying the first financial information, a modification to the first financial information via the corresponding one of the second, third, or fourth user interface to provide modified first financial information;

calculating a target home price including a target purchase price and target monthly payment amount based on the modified first financial information;

generating a fifth user interface that displays, using the interactive graphical display, the target home price and at least a fourth interactive graphical element and a fifth interactive graphical element, the fourth interactive graphical element including a first slide bar having a first slider for adjusting a savings amount, the fifth interactive graphical element including a second slide bar having a second slider for adjusting a down payment amount;

receiving, subsequent to the generating, a modification to the target home price via the fifth user interface to provide a modified target home price, the modification being provided via a sliding adjustment of at least one of the first and second sliders using the interactive graphical display;

evaluating homes for sale based on the modified target home price; and

displaying, subsequent to the evaluating, a sixth user interface, the sixth user interface including a map showing relative geographical positions of the evaluated homes, the sixth user interface further including a first visual indicator indicating that a first of the evaluated homes shown on the map has a price that is less than or equal to the modified target home price, the sixth user interface further including a second visual indicator indicating that a second of the evaluated home shown on the map has a price that is greater than the modified target home price.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing subsystem is further configured to perform the act of accessing a database to receive the first financial information, the first financial information including information from a financial institution.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing subsystem is further configured to perform the act of calculating a prequalified maximum loan amount based on the first financial information.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing subsystem is further configured to perform the acts of:

accessing a database to receive the first financial information, the first financial information including information from a financial institution;

receiving second financial information from the user via an input user interface; and

calculating the target home price based also on the second financial information.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing subsystem is further configured to perform the acts of:

accessing a database to receive the first financial information, the first financial information including information from a financial institution;

receiving second financial information from the user via an input user interface; and

calculating a prequalified maximum loan amount based on the first financial information and the second financial information.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the computing subsystem is further configured to perform the act of saving the target home price to a database.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a mobile computing device configured to perform the acts of receiving and displaying the first user interface.

8. A computer implemented method, comprising:

displaying, using an interactive graphical display, a first user interface including:

a first interactive graphical element for selecting a first target home price calculation option based on a user affordability;

a second interactive graphical element for selecting a second target home price calculation option based on a user desired home purchase price; and

a third interactive graphical element for selecting a third target home purchase calculation option based on a user desired monthly payment;

displaying, using the interactive graphical display, first financial information regarding a user, wherein:

in response to a selection, using the interactive graphical display, of the first interactive graphical element, the first financial information includes user affordability information displayed on a second user interface using the interactive graphical display;

in response to a selection, using the interactive graphical display, of the second interactive graphical element, the first financial information includes user desired home purchase price information displayed on a third user interface using the interactive graphical display;

in response to a selection, using the interactive graphical display, of the third interactive graphical element, the first financial information includes user desired monthly payment information displayed on a fourth user interface using the interactive graphical display;

receiving, subsequent to the displaying the first financial information, a modification to the first financial information via the corresponding one of the second, third, or fourth user interface, to provide modified first financial information;

calculating a target home price including a target purchase price and a target monthly payment amount based on the modified first financial information;

generating a fifth user interface display that displays, using the interactive graphical display, the target home price and at least a fourth interactive graphical element and a fifth interactive graphical element, the fourth interactive graphical element including a first slide bar having a first slider for adjusting a savings amount, the fifth interactive graphical element including a second slide bar having a second slider for adjusting a down payment amount;

receiving, subsequent to the generating, a modification to the target home price via the fifth user interface to provide a modified target home price, the modification being provided via a sliding adjustment of at least one of the first and second sliders using the interactive graphical display;

evaluating homes for sale based on the modified target home price; and

displaying, subsequent to the evaluating, a sixth user interface, the sixth user interface including a map showing relative geographical positions of the evaluated homes, the sixth user interface further including a first visual indicator indicating that a first of the evaluated homes shown on the map has a price that is less than or equal to the modified target price, the sixth user interface further including a second visual indicator indicating that a second of the evaluated home shown on the map has a price that is greater than the modified target home price.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first financial information is received from a user.

10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the first financial information is received from a database, the first information including information from a financial institution.
