We as a
society are all about the technology.
Who has the fastest and best new electronic toy or application? If we can order our fast food or pizza from
an app, why not shop for a house on one.
Most of the big real estate sites now offer free apps for your cell
phone or tablet for you to search through the latest listings. Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, and
Homes.com all had corresponding apps and are worth checking out if you are
looking for a home or an apartment. Of
course I myself am partial to the PMZ Real Estate App for obvious reasons. But what are some other apps that can help
you on your search for a new home?
If you have
are looking at homes, there are a lot of apps out there that can tell you about
the neighborhood you are looking in. For
example, Safe Neighborhood will inform you of the safety statistics of an area
or SiteWise, which provides the demographics of an area. Around Me does just what it says and gives
you a list as to what establishments and businesses surround an address and the
distances to them. What if you need to
do some quick calculations to see if you can afford the dream home you are
looking at? Mortgage Calculator by
Quicken Loans can help you do that. Need
to know if the home you are looking at will accommodate your existing
furniture. Not a problem with Easy
Measure, which lets you take measurements of rooms, doors, windows, etc. all
with your smartphone. Don’t like the
landscaping and would like to see the new home with something more your style. Try iScape, which lets you create virtual
landscaping from a picture. For the tech savvy buyer, there are many apps out
there that can help you find the perfect home.
