Users can log on to the Biddwell website and fill out a so-called 'renter resume' that can include a detailed bio, employment history, [credit check information](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenbase) and references in order to stand out from the crowd. Indeed this website encourages people to bid for properties in a hyper-competitive and determined way much like they would apply for jobs. Once users fill out their profiles, they can then issue private bids. By encouraging users to privately bid for properties, the Biddwell app allows landlords to take advantage of Toronto's supremely competitive rental market while rewarding those prospective renters who are most determined and well-equipped in their quest to find a home. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.0/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 50% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Rental Bidding:** More and more rental websites will start following the bidding process. - **Renter Profiles:** Renter resumes will be more detailed as landlords will demand applicants to stand out. - **Hyper-competitive Rental Market:** Rental application processes will become increasingly competitive as renters vie for available rental properties. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Real Estate:** Real estate firms can use rental bidding to help landlords find the most determined and well-qualified renters. - **Technology:** Technology companies can develop features to help renters create detailed profiles to stand out from the competition. - **Financial Services:** Financial service providers can use rental bidding as a way to provide their clients with higher returns on investment opportunities in the rental market. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Streamlined Hiring Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bid2work.md) - [Rent Collection Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bettarrent.md) - [AI Rental Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-rental.md) - [Self-Service Bidding Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rankbid.md) - [Real Estate Co-Investor Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coproperly.md) - [Canadian Rent-Reporting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/borrowell.md) - [Peer-To-Peer Rental Marketplaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peertopeer-rental.md) - [Bidding Reservation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diibs.md) - [Innovative Home Buying Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/canadian-real-estate.md)
