Give your Lovable real estate app serious MLS authority

Add IDX to your Lovable website.

Lovable is the most widely used AI app builder, and it builds a React app (TanStack Start, server-rendered) you fully control - so Buying Buddy installs as the official React package that adds MLS search, property listings, interactive maps and lead capture as idiomatic components.

A single <BuyingBuddyProvider> loads the runtime for your account, then you add <BuyingBuddyWidget> components wherever you need MLS content - no manual script tags.

It is built for single-page apps, so widgets initialize correctly even with client-side navigation - the common pain point with script-based IDX in React.

Your Lovable can do the whole install from our AI prompts - see Install in Lovable with AI.

Built for React on Lovable

Your pages, routes and metadata stay under your control with React's own routing. Buying Buddy widgets add the live MLS data, search and lead capture.

Buying Buddy widgets render in the browser after the runtime loads, hooking into React's component lifecycle so they initialize exactly when they mount - reliable in single-page apps and with client-side navigation.

You build SEO-friendly pages in Lovable as usual, then drop in widgets for MLS search, listings and capture. Four foundation routes - results, details, market reports and communities - power the full search-to-listing flow.

Lovable uses a separate publish step, and its preview and published sites are authorized separately in your Buying Buddy dashboard, so always test on your published domain.

More Properties Will Give You More Credibility

Displaying curated MLS properties across your Lovable app is simple - configure a widget with a type and a filter.

Use the Widget Wizards in your Buying Buddy dashboard to define niche displays and hotsheet landing pages. The wizard guides you to specify what to show and gives you the configuration to use.

First, decide the widget (map, list, gallery).
Then pick the MLS criteria that define the properties to show. Map the result onto a <BuyingBuddyWidget> via its type and filter props.

Render that component on any page or route to show your curated displays of properties.

No. Paste our prompt into Lovable and it installs the package, adds the provider and drops in the widgets for you.

No. There are no API keys to obtain and nothing to host. Buying Buddy receives the IDX feed directly from the MLS and the widgets display it in your Lovable app. An IDX license and MLS approval are required to show live data - a standard process we help you with - and until approval, widgets show our Demonstration MLS.
