The 5 best apps to buy a house
There are tons of apps in app stores that help you find houses for sale or rent. For this list, we have omitted those focused on the US real estate market, as we will focus on those that have utility in Spain or even Latin America . Clarified that, let’s see the selection…
photohouse
Fotocasa is one of the most interesting apps to buy a house, as it offers you a catalog of more than 1.5 million properties for sale or rent. It has a feature called “visitaExpress” which is great because it allows you to take a virtual tour through different houses, accompanied by a video call guide who will tell you all the details you need to know.
The app also offers you a neighborhood guide so that you know the different places where you could live, as well as a map where you can draw the area in which you want to buy a house (in order to filter the search). Fotocasa also has a mortgage calculator, the option to receive alerts when a property drops in price, and many more functions. Highly recommended!
Idealistic
In the Idealista application you can find more than 1.8 million homes and flats for sale or rent through a pleasant and easy-to-use interface. The app lets you compare prices as you please, filter your searches however you want, and even draw the area where you’d like to live on the virtual map to see the options there.
You won’t have to use WhatsApp to contact Idealistas advertisers, as the app includes its own direct messaging so you can chat without leaving it . It also includes alerts about new properties and prices, as well as the function of saving houses in favorites so that you can make a choice between several comfortably. And if you want to sell, Idealista allows you to post a free ad.
Room
Habitaclia is another app that has thousands of ads for houses or flats that you can buy. Almost all of them have loads of photos and data so you can effortlessly compare them and make the right choice. Its notification system is great, since it notifies you if there is a new house for sale or rent, if a property is on sale and other similar news. oh! And some houses in Habitaclia even have the option of doing a 3D visit .
Trovit Houses
Trovit is one of the most complete applications you can use to find a house, since it works in 19 languages and 46 different countries (including Spain, obviously). And it has all the tools you need to find and buy houses or flats: search filters, alerts, maps to select the area in which you are looking for real estate, etc.
The most interesting thing about Trovit is that it shows you ads from thousands of websites , so you will probably find more results in this app than in others.
Facebook Marketplace
If you don’t find the ideal home you’re looking for with the above applications, perhaps you should try your luck in the Facebook Marketplace. This is a section within the Facebook app where people post things they want to buy or sell . There you will find many houses for sale or rent, you just have to search in the appropriate groups (you can do it from the search bar of the application).
In the insurance Marketplace you will discover houses for sale that you have not seen anywhere else due to the large number of users that this social network has. However, we recommend that you be careful with scams and seek advice from a real estate agent to comply with all the necessary legal process when purchasing a property.
It is done. Those were the 5 best apps to buy a house or flat from the comfort of your mobile . We hope that at least one of them has served you and you are already comparing options.
