Searching for Homes Online
When buying a home, there was a time when we began with a drive around the neighbourhood with a real estate agent. Today, most home buyers begin their search online.
Technology has evolved over the last decade, home buyers are more knowledgeable about their needs, desires and what they can afford. I bet you are pretty savvy too! In my experience a more informed buyer has a better experience.
Here are some of the ways to put real estate at your fingertips through the online tools available:
- Visit centris.ca or realtor.ca where photographs, descriptions, maps and 3D virtual tours can be found.
- My website www.mcizmar has a wealth of information and is a great choice to search for current listings, learn about local neighbourhoods and buying and selling. There are even handy tools like a mortgage calculator and land transfer calculator so you can figure out ahead of time what some of the costs could be. For current listings there is even information on where the closet schools, amenities, parks are and walkability scores.
- Mortgage rates are available through banking and lender sties. These sites often provide tips on organizing your finances, mortgage calculators and answers to your mortgage-related questions. Pre-approval applications for your mortgage are also available online to make things even easier for you.
