What is a house hunting shortlist?
The homes you are still considering, in one place, with the same people looking. Type the address. Rate those homes. Decide from your people’s scores.
Fifteen links. No list.
One shared house hunting shortlist
The hunt starts as tabs and texts. A house hunting shortlist is the homes you are still considering — one list, same people.
Links are not a list
A notes app, a folder of tabs, and a thread of addresses is how most hunts start. Then someone asks which homes are still in play, and nobody can answer without scrolling.
A house hunting shortlist is smaller than your bookmarks. It is the homes you would tour again or write an offer on. Type the address. Drop the rest.
How to keep one list
Add only the homes still in play. Type the street — do not paste a listing-site link and hope the thread remembers it. Rate with the people deciding. Decide from those scores.
After you tour
The shortlist is the homes. A tour sheet is what you check while you walk — light, layout, the street.
Use the house hunting checklist for that walk, then put the score back on the shortlist.

Questions
How many homes belong on a shortlist?
Fewer than your bookmarks. Keep the addresses you would tour again or write an offer on. Fifteen open links are a pile, not a list.
Do we type the address or paste a link?
Type the street. A listing-site link in a thread is easy to lose and hard to rate. The shortlist should be addresses the household can open together.
