There’s one obvious service for sellers (who are of course customers from the myhome perspective) that the site doesn’t provide: the ability to list a house without going through an estate agent.

A well-funded and heavily promoted myhome alternative that put private sellers directly in front of buyers would give myhome (and estate agents) something to think about, and someone will do it sooner rather than later.

1. IT Infrastructure and processes
2. Sales

Look at daft.ie (ex Cape Clear employee). Initially they had neither of the above but a good understanding of their target market and a pssion for what they are about rapidly increased the value of their service and although ‘they are primarily about rentals’ have quickly established themselves as formidable young upstarts and can value their company at a couple of million.

Also – what you’ve outlined above are ‘features’ whereas companies that succeed expuse benfits.
