DALLAS, TX — HousingWire today announced the winners of the 2026 Tech100 award, recognizing the most innovative and impactful technology organizations across mortgage, real estate and homebuilding. This year’s program honors 100 companies in the mortgage category and 100 companies in the real estate category, highlighting the breadth and depth of technology shaping the future of housing.

Now in its 14th year, the Tech100 program provides housing professionals with a trusted, comprehensive list of the organizations bringing meaningful solutions to the industry. The list serves as a valuable resource for mortgage lenders, servicers, and real estate professionals seeking proven partners and solutions to address today’s most pressing operational and market challenges.

“The 2026 Tech100 honorees represent the companies pushing housing forward in real, measurable ways,” said Sarah Wheeler, Editor-in-Chief at HousingWire. “They’re building technology that solves core industry challenges, from operational efficiency to better consumer experiences, and setting a higher standard for what innovation in housing truly looks like.” As technology becomes increasingly central to how mortgage, real estate and homebuilding companies operate, the Tech100 program continues to evolve alongside these industries. What once highlighted emerging tools now recognizes platforms and organizations delivering proven, scalable impact across housing. This year’s honorees reflect a higher bar for innovation, demonstrating not only technical sophistication, but also real-world adoption, operational results, and long-term relevance. Together, they reinforce HousingWire’s commitment to recognizing companies that are shaping the future of housing through technology that delivers measurable value.

“Technology is no longer a nice-to-have, and it’s not defined by partnership announcements that fail to deliver meaningful progress,” said Clayton Collins, CEO of HW Media. “Today, technology is the business strategy. The right tech stack now determines who can recruit top talent, gain market share, and expand margins. The 2026 Tech100 honorees bring both innovation and impact. They’re growing, their teams are winning, and they’re pulling ahead in the race for scale and consumer relevance.”
