  Consider two weekends about twenty years apart. In the first one, a family needs to buy a three-bedroom apartment. On Saturday morning, they call up their local dealer who talks of two apartments. Then they visit both and spend Sunday running after a third through some family connection. At the end of the day, they’re exhausted but have no idea if the prices mentioned were reasonable. In the second weekend, a similar family picks up a mobile on Friday night and by dinner time, they’ve saved eight homes, made comparisons of price per sq ft and ruled out five. The next day is spent visiting the remaining three. Same objective, very different experience. This article considers the difference and what we gained and lost because of it. What the Offline Era Did Well The simplicity with which old methods can be described using terms like "slow" shows the value they once provided to us. Knowledge gained locally. An agent who works the same few streets year after year will know whic...

Buyers take the offer for granted and believe the website. They look at the price, look at the photos, and that's all. However, the same apartment can seem just as reliable on a well-done website and poorly made one. The question is how much you can confirm. Here is another way to do it. Instead of wasting an entire evening on the offer on the listing website, start by spending ten minutes checking the website itself. It takes seven simple checks to get an idea of how much importance you should attach to its claims. No additional equipment required, just your smartphone and some time. Why test the site first It all comes down to the process used to generate the list. If the website allows everyone to post everything without any seller identification, without any dates, and without a way to complain, then even the genuine list on such a website becomes less trustworthy. If the website is transparent concerning who is posting and what is being checked, one can use their information w...

  Think of a single 2 BHK listing put up for sale on an internet platform on a Monday morning. By Wednesday, a buyer bookmarks it, a real estate agent calls up the owner about an identical flat, and the owner gets four inquiries on his listing. All parties have not met each other in person, but the listing platform has made that connection silently. Most posts talk about these sites from one perspective only. Here, I am going to look at the same listing from three different perspectives: the seller's perspective, the buyer's perspective, and the agent's perspective. Looking at all three will help you understand the dynamics and make better use of this connection. The listing is the meeting point It is not only an ad but also a common set of information, for example, price, size, number of rooms, availability, photos and ways of contacting, that is stored in a common database. Since all listings have common fields, the apartment in one district may easily be compared to the ...

Home search journeys have begun with a tap on a phone screen late into the night. You enter a location, fix a price range, and all of a sudden you find yourself looking at four hundred apartments. That plethora of choices gives you an adrenaline rush for some ten minutes, and after that, you feel overwhelmed. If this resonates with you, you should read through this guide. Real estate online marketplace can be a potent tool, but only if you know how to navigate it. The following is an easy way to do so. Think of it as a filtered map, not a catalogue A catalogue is something that you leaf through from the beginning to the end. A marketplace is more like a map with different layers. The owners, constructors and real estate agents add information that is then filtered by the website according to types, location, price, and ownership. You choose which layers to turn on. From this point of view, your objective becomes clear. You do not need to browse everything anymore. Your task is to filte...
