Better launches digital homeownership platform in two states

Digital homeownership platform Better has extended its operations in Hawaii and New Hampshire, the company said Wednesday.

“Our meteoric growth over the last few years signals consumer demand for a digitized, end-to-end homeownership experience,” said Megan Bellingham, head of mortgage operations. “Better’s launch in Hawaii and New Hampshire is another step forward in our mission to make homeownership simpler, faster, and more accessible.”

Better said the expansion, which comes on the heels of Better Mortgage’s launch in Massachusetts in November, was in response to soaring home prices in Hawaii (up by 20.2%) and New Hampshire (14.6%).
