When I was looking for a condo to invest in, I went on Google and wrote “Real Estate Apps” and downloaded the following (for the Philippines):
This is a screen shot of my Condo Search apps all neatly organized in a folder on my iPhone.
With the help of these Apps I was able to find 3 amazing condos for great deals in the location I wanted. I would religiously look through the postings on each app until something amazing came along. One of the condos I got from this condo search is now successfully on Airbnb as “Julia’s Urban Brick Condo” which is renting daily with a great profit!
HOUSE HUNTING APPS
• Property 24 – Download the app here
• Lamudi – Download the app here
• Trovit Homes – Download the app here
• Locanto – Download the app here
• Mitula Property – Download the app here
• Persquare – Download the app here
• Hoppler – Download the app here
Download several real estate apps because they don’t all have the same postings. These apps are good for searching for real estate for rent or sale; Houses, condos, townhouses, land, etc.
If the app has the option, I like to search by map view. I add my preferences by using filters – price, size, rooms, etc. I sift through the neighborhoods I am in interested in. I also like to choose a few buildings that I know or like and locate them on the map so that I can check out all the condos in that building for sale.
You can save your favorite homes and compare them to one another. You can request a notification if new condos in your preferred areas and with your requirements are posted.
I would also check the apps several times a week so that I’d be one of the first ones to see new postings and grab a deal.
Check out my video on YouTube showing how I do my condo searches using the apps!
