That list of listings isn't sorted for you.
Cheapest rent first, newest first. The order is set by the side listing the properties — never by you. So no matter how far you scroll, you never reach your own number one.
Sumilca reorders listings by your own criteria — commute time, disaster risk, budget. For each one it shows the score, and where that score comes from. So the reason behind the ranking is clear, and you can explain it, to yourself and to your family.
HOW IT WORKS
What Sumilca does
Same listings — the order changes the conclusion.
You get stuck comparing when your criteria aren't numbers yet.
Here are three moments where most people stall — and how Sumilca handles each.
Two workplaces, and nothing settles.
Say it's 42 minutes to company A, 38 to company B. Look at listings one at a time, from one side only, and you can't weigh both — so the decision stalls.
TIPPut the travel time to both workplaces on one screen. The listings that land in a range you can both live with show up right away, as numbers.
The more you check disaster risk, the fewer options remain.
Prone to flooding here, shaky ground there. Checking site by site takes effort, and the basis for comparison never lines up.
TIPLay out the type and degree of risk — flood, earthquake — for each listing in the same format. Draw a single line at "this much, I can accept," and the field narrows to a realistic number.
It feels right, but you can't tell your family why.
You feel "this is the one," but if you can't put into words why it ranks where it does, the conversation with your family goes nowhere.
TIPThe criteria you weighed and each listing's score breakdown stay on screen. Show it and say, "budget is second, but commute is first — that's why."
3 STEPS / UI FLOW
Whatever the moment, the steps are the same three.
Choose your criteria
From commute, safety, and budget, choose what to weigh and by how much. That weighting is exactly what the order reflects.
Enter the numbers
Enter workplace addresses and the ceiling for disaster risk you'll accept. One person or two — either works.
Reorder, reasons and all
Every listing is scored on your criteria and reordered. The breakdown behind each score is shown alongside.
PRESET
Sort by two commutes
Enter both workplaces and, comparing both commute times on one screen, bring the listings within a range you can both live with to the top.

Filter by a disaster-risk ceiling
Weigh flood and earthquake risk heavily, push listings past your line down, and narrow to the ones within it.

There are only three things to do: choose the criteria that matter, enter the numbers for commute and budget, and press reorder. In a few seconds you get a list sorted by your own criteria, with the reason behind every score. No sign-up, no fee. Start with just one — the criterion you can least give up.
